New baritone 82M and tenor sax 86M reintroduced
The new Conn International 82M baritone Ssxophone was on
display at the National Association of Music Merchants
(NAMM) 2001 and at Musikmesse Frankfurt. "This fine
baritone saxophone, built in the key of Eb, is a welcome
addition to a school or community musical group's instrument
lineup," says Kerry Klingborg, woodwind product manager for
UMI. "A great value, the Conn 82M is packed with features
usually found only in much higher priced instruments."
Its features include lacquered brass body and keys, ribbed
bottom bow guard, domed metal tone booster pads, range from
low A to high F#, rocker low Bb, articulated low C# and an
adjustable thumb hook.
Also, the Conn International 86M tenor saxophone was
reintroduced. "The Conn International 86M is a Bb tenor
saxophone designed in the classic French style, with full rib
construction, drawn tone holes and dome-shaped tone boosters,"
says Klingborg. The 86M features a detachable bell, adjustable
bumpers, an adjustable thumb rest and has a clear lacquer finish.
It has a range up to high F#. Like the new baritone model, the
tenor model includes a professional hard rubber mouthpiece and
a hardshell case.
