Conn New Wonder Series II Soprano Saxophone #196067. Satin silver, gold bell

  
Conn New Wonder Series II Soprano Saxophone #196067. Conn soprano saxophone #196067 was manufactured by C. Of Elkhart Indiana in 1927. It is a New Wonder Series II model, with rolled tone holes, nail file G# key and a thumb ring. The body finish is satin silver, with burnished silver bell and keys. The inside of the bell is burnished gold plate. All the rollers and stack key touches are mother of pearl. This soprano was overhauled recently. The pads, corks and felts are in "like new" condition.

All keys move freely and the spring action is lively but not stiff. Keys and body are slightly tarnished, as shown, but I think a good rub-down with a silver cloth would bring up the shine nicely.

These old Conn sopranos tend to have a warm, dark, complex sound, due in part to the silver and gold plating. But don't be misled, they can kick up a storm too think Sidney Bechet....

They are a pleasure to play. A bit lighter than contemporary sopranos, they feel elegant, and the thumb ring (as opposed to a thumb hook) adds a sense of stability in the hands. This horn comes in a newer Yamaha case with double handles, as shown in the photo.

Horn fits the case nicely. Remember, your offer is a binding contract.
