CG Conn Chu Berry Portrait Model Alto Sax in Gold Plate
Extremely nice gold plated C.G. Conn Chu Berry "Portrait" model alto sax, serial number 164896. This alto is in breathtakingly nice condition, and has just been fully overhauled.
The original gold plate is over 99% intact, with just minor wear on a couple touch points. It is as close to perfect as you'll find. There are no dents or dings, and no resoldered joints, anywhere in the horn. It does have rolled tone holes which have never been filed down. The engraving on this alto is just gorgeous - the artisans at Conn were masters in their art.
If you are looking for the sweet vintage Conn sound this is the horn to grab. It plays with an extremely warm "velvety" sound, with a very fast response. It has a slightly more spread sound than what you find on most modern horns, allowing you to bend and shape notes much more easily.
