This C.G. Conn 6M “Naked Lady” Alto Saxophone, serial number 331464, was manufactured in 1950 during the final years of Conn’s legendary Elkhart-era production. The 6M, often referred to as the “Artist” model, is a professional-level horn celebrated for its bold, resonant tone, ergonomic keywork, and distinctive “Naked Lady” (or “Lady Face”) engraving on the bell.

This particular horn is in very good vintage condition, retaining its original lacquer, now aged with attractive vintage patina and wear that highlights its history and character. Importantly, it is free from dents or structural damage, and the engraving remains clearly visible and sharp. The original microtuner neck and underslung octave mechanism are intact, and the keywork is smooth and responsive. This horn has its original pads which will need to eventually be replaced; they might require a firmer press to seal fully.

Known for its rolled tone holes, compact feel, and strong projection, the 6M has long been a favorite among jazz and lead alto players for its balance of warmth, power, and vintage charm.
