Here is a chance to own a fantastic near mint condition Conn Shooting Star alto sax that is all original and over 50 years old! This is not the later junky models but the famous Shooting Stars model that plays considerably more modern than the 6m in that the sound is more direct and focused and less spread. The action is quite nimble and the pinky keys feel very nice under the fingers. The octave mechanism is really well designed. This is not one of those bendy asian import horns with the soft brass.....this is made with north american brass that and hardened keywork that will last years for of playing. Since the pads are all original you might want to tweak it a little for optimum performance but I used this last summer playing the prom and it was great. Comes in the original samsonite like case that really protects this horn. Good luck bidding!
