![]() ![]() My guess is that it had a full rebuild in the last 5-15 years.ĬASE: A very nice case that was custom built by the 3rd owner! ($300!) It has a very heavy, wood construction and is in excellent shape. PADS: Good life - these look like they were used gradually and have tons of life left. SOUND: Well, it's a solid CONN 10M sound: robust, rich, smokey, and bold. (and I've also seen some effects from Vito cases(glue?) that affected lacquer colors.) I have seen this happen on a few pro King Super 20s and can likely be attributed to the cleanliness prep in the factory at the time of lacquering. Although there is some lacquer color shifting, it is original. As I inspected it, I saw about two small dings/dents in the history and one ping. ![]() ![]() This sax was adult owned for the last several years by a fellow who says he was told he was the 3rd owner. This is the later double socket neck design also. but I have a gut instinct that says tenor in this case, but I'm not confident. Your photos don't show the neck and it's hard for me to tell whether you have a tenor sax here or an alto sax. Trust me, it's good but obviously is no match against a 10M from 1935-42($3000-4500 duh). 2 years ago This was likely built some time in the 1960's, but there is no reliable serial number listings for Noblet saxes. An affordable 10M - Yeah Buddy! It still sounds like a 10M, but the snobs will overlook this horn. A beautiful example here of what some might call the "last of the real 10Ms" before the Mexico era.
