I just got an old Conn 6m "Lady Face" alto sax fixed up, but I need a new case for it. I actually don't have a case at all for it; the previous owner threw it out and almost the old horn, too.

With the way old Conns are made, the sax doesn't fit in any of the few cases I've looked at in person. I don't live near too many music shops, so I was going to just order one offline somewhere.

I don't need anything super fancy, really, I just something that will allow the horn to fit in there safely. But I can't tell online what cases the sax will and will not fit in.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I think you'll be fine with a Hiscox.
They fit L/H or split bell key horns, like my Martin Handcraft.

Protec contoured works for all my old Conns.

I've used Protec contoured cases for all the vintage conns I've owned. No problems at all.

Jarred what is the ballpark cost of a custom case from Mike Manning?

Here's how to make your own custom-fit case:

I've been using this for 6 months now. The fit is snug and secure and the cost was about $20 over the cost of the generic case that I used as the starting point.

Im playing a 1937 Conn 6M as well and just got my Ivory Hiscox Pro Case. Awesome fit for my Conn and it looks stunning! Definitely recommended.
