Re: Questions about my 1931 Conn Sax.
1 - the saxgourmet value guide is only for perfect, 100% pristine origional horns, with the case in the same condition, and all those papers it came with. Deduct a few hundred bucks.
2 and 3 - the microtuner was removed and the octave lever moved for costs reasons. you can get the same octave sound from the top, and its more common, and cheaper to build. the microtuner isnt really necesarry, if you know how to tune in the first place
4 - nickel plate isnt especially rare - about the same value(maybe a lil under) as silver plate.
Enjoy the horn! Jim will probably but in here in a bit, and correct all our mistakes, but I think we got it, lol
