Conn 6H Elkhart Era 1968. Classic Small bore .500 with 8" yellow brass bell and gold brass handslide. This one is all original parts and lacquer, original case, excellent condition and fantastic playability. Has had full shop service with chemical bath. Today there are a lot of choices when it comes to small bore tenors. During the 1960's most pro players were playing either King, Bach, or Conn, at least in the U.S. There were other instrument makers such as Holton, Martin, Olds, to name a few, but nobody who played on one of the top brands their whole career ever looked back with regret. Once you play a Conn from the Elkhart Era you will know why. This was the model that Frank Rosolino played. It's ideal for Jazz Improvisors because the unsoldered rim and gold brass slide create the perfect combo for tonal flexibility and agility. In other words, it doesn't play stiff and is easy to get up and down on. Sound quality is gorgeous. This one has not had any major damage, hard to find these days. It will not dissapoint. In stock for immediate delivery.
