This is a fine example of Conn’s legendary professional tenor, celebrated for its big, warm tone, smooth ergonomics, and iconic “Naked Lady” (or “Lady Face”) engraving on the bell.

This fully overhauled horn is in very good condition and ready to go, featuring new pads with resonators for excellent response and resonance. The body is clean and structurally solid, with no major dents or damage, and only light cosmetic wear consistent with age. The original bell engraving remains sharp and clear, showcasing the classic Conn artistry. The neck has been repaired from a dent.
Players prize the 10M for its commanding sound and vibrant presence. The combination of new pads and Conn’s legendary design makes this instrument both reliable for modern performance and a collector’s piece of mid-century American craftsmanship.
