This Conn 12M “Naked Lady” Baritone Saxophone, serial number 642284, was produced around 1956, situating it squarely in Conn’s golden era of large-bore American saxophones. The 12M brought forward a dramatic tonal presence, featuring the distinctive “Naked Lady” engraving and Conn’s renowned craftsmanship from Elkhart, Indiana. Notably, the 12M introduced a unique design innovation: both bell keys located on the right side — a pioneering setup for its time.
This baritone is in very fine condition, with original lacquer and no significant dents, preserving both its structural integrity and aesthetic presence. The keywork operates smoothly, and the beautiful engraving remains crisp and evocative of Conn’s vintage artistry. With its broad bore, bold tonal voice, and ergonomic design, this 12M delivers authoritative projection and the revered Conn baritone character.
