This is a Conn Chu Berry Alto sax (serial 160K; rolled tone holes, original pearl rollers intact, no dents, excellent condition original silver plating; action is like new; original neck w/neck tuner in excellent condition; new, fresh Conn resopads). This instrument was just overhauled by master vintage sax technician, Mark Aronson (a $600 value). This is a great playing alto with wonderful tone quality, response and intonation. It is set up properly to maximize the wonderful qualities of one of the classic alto saxes.......a joy to play. This instrument has excellent key action and shows little wear. The Conn instruments are known for their great sound (due to the original Adolphe Sax bore style; has parabolic curvature unlike modern saxophones) and response (better than modern saxes. It ships with a new Pro Tec MAX standard alto case (a $100 value). Don't miss this chance at a great instrument that is ready to play! What a great gift for the Holidays!
