The 30M was never a stock item. It had to be specially ordered from the factory, and Conn built only about one 30M for every hundred 10M's made. Production ended when the factory converted to war work in the early 1940s, so the entire run lasted less than ten years. That makes the 30M one of the rarest professional American tenors of the golden era, and it is easily the most mechanically advanced saxophone Conn ever built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body and bore are the same as the 10M, so you get the same fat, spread, room filling sound that made the 10M famous. What sets the 30M apart is everything on top of that body:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePermadjust system. Nearly every key linkage has an adjustable screw, so regulation is set with a screwdriver rather than relying on corks and felts that compress and drift over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSterling silver key touches. The palm keys, side keys and both pinky tables are inlaid with solid silver, so everywhere your hands land is either silver or pearl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedesigned left hand table. The G#, C#, B and Bb cluster is completely different from the 10M, with a rocker mechanism and adjustment screws that make the low register keys lighter and more positive under the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved octave mechanism. A faster, smoother octave key design than the standard 10M of the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolled tone holes. This is a prewar horn, so it has the rolled tone holes that Conn players prize for pad life and a soft seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavier engraving. The 30M received Conn's deluxe rose mat engraving rather than the standard 10M pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sax just received a full mechanical overhaul prior to sale from Pecknel Music in Greenville, SC. They used flat riveted resonators, similar to what this sax originally came with. The horn seals from top to bottom and the 30M table, which feels wonderful when it is in proper adjustment, is set up the way it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many horns of this era, the lacquer is not original. That is the trade off that makes this horn more affordable. Original lacquer 30Ms in clean condition have climbed well out of reach for most players.

This was Yamaha's top of the line tenor saxophone when it was introduced in the 1990s, and this is an early example. These are really incredible horns that I think feel better over time. They uniquely straddle the bridge between vintage and modern. They're still incredibly easy to play, with ideal ergonomics, superb intonation, lightning quick response and very even tone and dynamics across the entire register. But there's an incredible core to the sound that immediately puts my mindset into vintage sax territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sax was previously owned by a well known professional saxophonist. It was his main horn, so it does show quite a bit of honest lacquer wear. My repairman just overhauled the sax, so it has all new pads, corks and felts.

If you closed your eyes, you'd think you were playing on a brand new sax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck that comes with this horn is a gold plated F1, which is a great match for the horn. The F1 is one of Yamaha's early Custom necks, made from French style brass and offered only for tenor and soprano. It was never standard equipment on a US model and has been discontinued for years, so they're not easy to find, and gold plated examples are rarer still. Players seek them out for a centered, focused core with extra punch and projection in the upper register. On this 875, the F1 tightens up the sound and gives it a little more pop without losing the depth that makes these horns special. The previous owner chose this neck for his main horn, and after playing it, it's easy to see why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1812\" height=\"1019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Drb-fTBjkw\" title=\"Yamaha YTS-875 Tenor 1649, Gold F1 Neck Demo | DC Sax\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43815519486015,"sku":null,"price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5373\/files\/sell-your-saxophone_222of346.jpg?v=1788298689"},{"product_id":"selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-190710","title":"190,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Video, Just Serviced","description":"\u003cp\u003e1971 Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s\/n 190710.

The previous owner set up this horn with slightly elevated key heights, and we decided to keep this as-is. It gives the horn a bit of extra projection and presence without being overly bright tonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sax has a medium bow, the design Selmer switched to for good on altos starting around s\/n 136,xxx in 1966. But that only tells half the story. Selmer used two medium bow lengths during this run. The initial medium bow was slightly longer and was used up until around s\/n 201,xxx. After that, the bow became slightly shorter. Thanks to Douglas Pipher's work, you can identify the bow length from the logo design. Look closely and you'll see three wavy lines around the circled R on this sax. That means it's the slightly longer medium bow. Selmer removed the flourishes after 201,xxx to denote the shorter bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does this mean in terms of playing characteristics? The longer medium bows tend to have a bit more body and depth, and are slightly darker sounding.
