Having many Alto's at my fingertips because I was dealing in saxophones,my "go-to" Alto was mostly always the Conn 6M ,and if I had one, the Conn 6M VIII model.(My tenor is a Conn 10M). I have played Alto Saxophone over the years ,loving this sized horn for Funk and Big-Band. I then studied at the Lismore Conservatorium and the Sourthern Cross University.At this time I switched to Tenor which became my main horn. After a couple of years, I knew I had to either give it up, or get into it seriously. After having a couple of lessons I started just blowing tunes that I knew, did a bunch of busking in Australia and Europe connecting with a few learner type bands and had some fun. When I made a few duck-like calls on his saxophone,he said I was a "natural".Go buy a horn he said, so I went to Melbourne and bought my first Alto Saxophone, a Conn 20M made in mexico. My first ever Saxophone was an Alto.After deciding to learn the saxophone when I was on a 9 month adventure traveling in the Indian sub-continent,I came back to Australia, found a piano player who taught some saxophone and i had a go on his horn.

They have a lot of guts and they work great for a whole range of playing situations. The low teens serials are my favorite VI altos for tone specifically. The sound on a 114xxx alto is dark, focused, and powerful. The original engraving wasn’t bad, but they just look so much better when Sherry does her magic – it’s kind of a labor of love all-around. I also got the horn re-engraved by the great Sherry Huntley of Artistic Engraving, so that it would look its best for its next owner. The neck also looks good and has not had past repairs. There’s no sign of past dentwork, and no sign of other resolders. It has a very clean history, and the tone holes all look great. This horn had a little dent taken out of the bell lip, but that’s it for past repairs. It has domed metal resonators, and the pads have a nice firm pop to them. You’re not going to find a better playing VI alto for this kind of money. Steve’s work is very good, especially on an alto like this, so even a super-picky player will be happy with the way that this horn feels under the fingers.
This is a relacquered Mark VI alto SN114xxx (matching neck) that has just had a fresh overhaul by Steve Collins of Collins Hornworks. This saxophone is sold! But click HERE to see our current selection of alto saxophones.
