'HIS NEW CONN Alto
' Saxophone has a new scale
which artists who have tried
it pronounce as "the last word."
In richness of tone quality, bril-
liance and melodious quality you
have never heard the equal of this 1927
alto. It is remarkable, too, for even-
ness of register, the instant production
of high tones without effort, and quick re-
sponse of the lowest tones even in a PP passage.
The instrument is of just the proper weight, the
proper guage of metal for the body is used and the
snappy response of the mechanism is incomparable.
The tuning device on the mouth-pipe retains
the perfect bore of the instrument, tunes to the
fraction of a vibration and enables you to tune
instantly, and while playing even, if necessary,
as often happens when warming up.
The knurled G sharp key prevents slipping of
little finger. The straight low b-flat key, which
avoids the across and downward movement of
the left hand little finger, is a great convenience,
enabling passages otherwise impossible.
The tone of the Conn Saxophone is what the
inventor Sax and the famous LaFebre intended
it to be it does not sound as though a rag were

stuffed into the
bell. Its tone-
quality is more bril-
liant and truly voice-
like, flexible and rich. Conn
makes and sells, o n merit
alone, more saxophones than any other maker.
The new 192 7 Conn Alto Saxophone stands out as
the peak of achievement. You must hear and play
it yourself to appreciate it fully. In design, finish
and playing qualities it is of strictly artist calibre.
Priced according to finish desired at
$230, $195, $160, $125, $100, $90.
