What's on Emma's Bench? A Conn 10M Tenor Sax!
This week I completed a repad on a Conn 10M tenor sax.
Fun fact: the 10M is also referred to as the Ladyface, due to the portrait of a woman engraved on the bell! A distinguishing feature of this particular instrument is the rolled tone holes, which Conn stopped including in the design of the 10M around 1948. I love the warmth and full-bodied sound this instrument produces and I'm so happy to see it in proper playing condition.
