There has definitely been a lack of vintage bass saxophones available on eBay lately. And since I have been more or less\u00a0tracking\u00a0vintage bass sales on the on-line auction site, the ones that have appeared, have\u00a0mostly been Bueschers.<\/p>\n

This morning I was surprised to see a vintage Conn bass<\/a> up for auction. What was even more surprising, was its price: < $1,000. \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the photos are not very good, and not very plentiful either. It is really difficult to make out any details on this baby, but here is how the seller describes this vintage bass:<\/p>\n

YOU ARE BIDDING 0n a a very early and big Bass Saxophone made by C G Conn Elkhart Indiana .It hasn’t been played for who knows how long . It will need a rehab for sure pads etc. . It has some dings and dents some on the bell and the body not as bad as you would think .It looks to be complete really not an expert. . It has engraving looks to be a floral pattern .The only number I see on it is 8405. From the looks maybe early 1900’s . It measure a shade over four feet tall and weight twenty pounds plus . I can truly say I have never owned one of these ! I would think not a whole lot of them around . Also there is no case with this instrument I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL . . We ship Fed Ex .<\/p>\n

According to the Conn serial number list on drrick.com<\/a>, this horn’s serial #\u20148405\u2014would date it to 1903. It is also quite possibly a high pitched horn.<\/p>\n
