⭕ This is an EXTRAORDINARY Conn F Mezzo-Soprano saxophone. Most people are aware of the history of these instruments-Conn designed them for orchestral work, but that never materialized. Most of the leftover stock was used for repair practice-deliberately dented and mashed. This one, however, is nearly perfect. Original silver plate (satin silver with bright highlights) is 99% present. There are no dings and no signs of repair. This horn appears to have had a recent repad and plays great with the sweet, full sound that these are known for.
