Hi,


Made a offer on Conn "All Star" soprano stencil.

Very clean, silver, straight one piece. Finish VG, no repairs, dents. No rolled tone holes.
Description say it plays, new cheap pads, may need work setting up & adjusting. good case OEM.

Offered $400., countered $650. ...any thoughts?

Thanks.

The seller is a member here at SOTW. The odd thing is the lack of resos or even rivets. I think $650 is about right on this one. Count on about another $300 to get it right. Looks good however. These are really fantastic sopranos. I have a Conn Chu from about the same timeand it is the best soprano I have owned. This All-Star is probably from about 1921-25.

It won't let me add a video to the auction while your offer is pending so here it is.

At $650, you should go for it.

I did go for it.

Seller made a deal I coud not refuse. Nice guy to deal with.

Thanks,

I think you can get by with just doing some of the pads. Usually the stack pads are way to thick on non-pro overhauls. The side keys and low end pads may work out OK and looked workable in the photos.
