    Conn Minty Transitional Nickel Plate Alto Saxophone 1930
    This horn is in wonderful condition.
    Original neck with no pull down.
    Pads are not new, but they are in decent condition, so it is in g
    ood playing condition :).  A little bit of well done dent work on the bow, which is hard to tell.
    Serial Number 242,968.  This is a Conn transitional saxophone made in 1930.  The first transitionals had the curved side E key which can be seen on this horn.   This would have been during the 'art deco' period of Conn saxophones, but being nickel plated it just bears the Conn logo.   I am particularly fond of their nickel plated horns as they are very resonant usually.
    Hard to find transitional altos in this condition in nickel plate.   Rare horn.
