Also, would anyone know how much a C.G.Conn C Melody sell for? Having " SN# 6,7** " and in almost mint condition? Yes the micro tuner works, the cork on the neck is original, all parts are original and the horn has only had 2 previous owners.

Hello Basssaxman, Keep saving, as you will need at least $8,000 and up for a Bass sax, vintage (plus any repairs, repad work, adjustment etc.). New, the cheapest Asian made one currently available from International Woodwinds is $9,499.00, and a new Selmer or Keilwerth goes very near the $20,000 price range. Not a cheap proposition. Regarding the Conn C-Melody New Wonder model; A proper and accurate valuation can't be made without, a the very least, proper photos to illustrate it's condition, finish etc. C-Melodies don't fetch high prices in general however. A safe middle ground would be in the $250 to $500 ball park for a very fine, original condition example.

... and not only Conn saxophones !
