This vintage Conn tenor saxophone, serial number M154225, belongs to the legendary New Wonder Series II, widely known among musicians as the Chu Berry model. Manufactured in 1925 in Elkhart, Indiana, this horn represents one of the golden eras of American saxophone making.

After a full professional reconstruction by KGUmusic, the instrument has been carefully restored both acoustically and aesthetically. All dents have been corrected, the entire mechanism thoroughly repaired, and brand-new natural leather pads without resonators have been installed, ensuring a reliable seal and authentic response. The body has been finished with a brown patina and protected by a matte lacquer coating, giving the horn a distinctive vintage character while preserving its long history.

Key features of the Chu Berry design include:

1. Rolled tone holes for a warmer resonance and smoother feel.
2. Split bell keys (left/right side configuration) a signature element of Conn saxophones from this era.
3. Big, unmistakable sound powerful, rich, and unique, impossible to confuse with any other saxophone.

This saxophone is delivered in a handmade genuine leather case along with accessories, providing both protection and style.

Owning this horn means not only playing an instrument of great historical value but also holding a piece of jazz heritage the same model once favored by jazz legends, known for its iconic, commanding tone.
