Late Vintage Conn 12M Baritone Saxophone in Gold Lacquer Finish, Serial #886507
Conn 12M Baritone
This is a later vintage Conn 12M baritone saxophone in gold lacquer, serial number 886507. These horns can be punchy free blowing players. This one in particular is not currently playing and is in the need of service work before it will be ready for any use.
The pictures of this horn tell its story the best. It was re-lacquered in the past and has a history of past body repair and re-solders. Some dings still remain at this time. All of the nickel plated key work is intact but the neck screws is missing. This instrument most likely has seen quite a bit of use in the school system.
If you have a good tech in mind to do the restoration work you can get into this one for a good price. Because it has been some time since the horn has seen serious attention it is beyond the point of a cheap or quick fix. It is most likely going to need a complete overhaul with some body and solder work before it is going to be ready for any serious use. With time and patience it could be made into a good playing baritone once more.
Horn ships in as is condition with hard case.
