Conn 150th Anniversary Model Limited Edition Alto Sax
Only 40 Will Be Made Available!
Conn is arguably the most historic American musical instrument brand. With a legacy dating back to 1875 with the first cornet under the Conn brand, the Conn name has been nothing short of historic. In celebration of that history, Conn has released an extremely limited edition of 40 total Conn 150th Anniversary Alto Saxophones. These instruments offer a truly unique design that is reminiscent of vintage Conn saxes in sound but with a modern scale for excellent intonation and modern ergonomics.

Additional Information
How Does it Play?
Simple answer: Huge!
Conn has created an instrument with superb acoustics. The CONNfirmation’s sound is resonant and even throughout the entire scale of the instrument. Free blowing, expressive and remarkably balanced in tone, response and intonation.
So why make it a Limited Edition only?
The CONNfirmation was designed and built as more of a prototyping concept for the upcoming reintroduction of the Conn brand to saxes in the market. Prototyping a new design requires immense time, effort and expense to do. With this sax, Conn was developing the bore concept and feature sets to be utilized in the eventual release of the new Conn models. While we do have some inside information on these new models, we cannot share them yet – pinky swears are legally binding in the music industry after all! However, the acoustic elements designed for these horns were just too impressive to NOT let get out on the market. So that is what Conn has decided to do in this release of the Limited Edition CONNfirmation model alto sax.
Each horn as a limited edition number on them – but get ready for a little wonkiness… there are only 40 that are being released on the market, but the series numbering (marked on the bell to bow band) will be in an xxx/150 format! So even though there are only 40, the series indicates that there are 150 – but there never were! Only 40. So we have numbers 40, 43 and 61.
Professional Setup – Truly Necessary!
We setup every horn before shipment to make sure they are amazing – this is nothing new to us. However, as these horns were effectively production level prototypes, we found that the professional setup was even more needed than ever! Don’t misunderstand us on this – the horns were built well, but padding is an artform and the Conn factory in the USA hasn’t really padded a sax in a long time (decades). This is one of the reason Conn wanted these horns in our shop – the knew that we knew how to get the most out of them before shipping it to you!
Each CONNfirmation alto sax has been completely reworked and re-setup by our Saxophone ProShop. This way you know that you have a horn that will arrive to you in a truly impressive performance level, ready to amaze.
