Why did I buy a Conn Transitional? Because it is one of the best saxophone ever made. It is having a really nice and smooth sound, great intonation and a mechanic much more improved compared by Conn New Woneder. You can play this saxophone as a modern one: it is easy for blowing, to play fast jazz music or ballads, but it has something more: the sound coming from a gret old brass material. It is always perfect for every kind of music. Simply like it!
One of the best alto saxes ever made from the past! If you can get a one on decent shape do so! It is easy to blow and fast too. Excellent intonation from top to bottom. The 6M is my 2nd sax, I use to have a Keilwerth, and I like this one much better.
I bought this saxophone as I needed an Alto with the nice fat Conn alto sound One of the best alto saxophones ever made. Very ergonomic lay-out, and easy to play even for beginners. It is a sensitive about mouthpieces, too big a chamber does not help, the lower notes will be stuffy.
