This CONN Alto Saxophone Style 26M-21 is truly the, ''Choice of the Artists''. Here is an opportunity to own a legendary instrument that's got more than the typical bells and whistles.

Third, is the provenance. Maybe you don't care (however you should) but, with the successful bidder's purchase comes the original receipt from the J. H. Troup Music House in Harrisburg, PA.

A lot of change in the middle of the war.
Last, along with all of the above, you get the CONN booklet on how to care for your new instrument , what I believe to be the original strap, and some other goodies.
The sax and everything is being offered with a very low opening bid AND NO RESERVE! I'll try to answer any questions you may have about this item. Shipping will be a
