Antique CG Conn Ltd Tenor Sax
Just received my late Grandfather's Tenor and I am looking for info; he purchased it 2nd(or 3rd) hand in the 1950's in Alberta, Can. It's stamped beneath the thumb rest as follows:
Patented 1914
1119954
T
M205115
L
It was played several times a week from when purchased by my grandfather in the '50s up until he bacame too ill to play anymore in 2005. It still works (almost) perfectly with only a couple minor pad leaks and still has a distinctively rich and full tone. Original silver plating is approx 95% intact, but finish is quite dull and in need of TLC & restoration...however, the care and appreciation this horn has received is evident as not a single ding or dent can be found.
Any help with any info would be appreciated,
Thanks.
