Description
Okay, all you connoisseurs out there -- here comes one of those not-so-often seen opportunities. What we are looking at here is a Conn alto whose 203xxx serial number dates it to 1927. Ha! Somebody thought he could fling around a little extra cash and get the super fancy engraving and the gold plate! A couple years later and his whole stock portfolio went pffffffft ! Poor guy. Anyway .. what to tell ya .. Here are mp3 snippets Mac users, if your browser asks you to "pick app", tell it to use QuickTime to play these.

Arpeggios to show the notes all play (90 k) and

Ensemble (242 k)


Winning bidder pays shipping : $20 inside USA (it will probably cost more to ship and insure, but I'll cover the difference). Actual shipping cost outside USA (usually pretty expensive / bien cher / sehr teuer / muy costoso, so be aware). Check or money order OK. Checks may delay shipment.
here are the pictures

Here is the lady herself....

The proud Conn brand name crest ...

Look closely and you can see the silver spot where the gold is worn...
