Conn "Artist" alto with extras!

[jenseman]

So I finally managed to transfer some pictures of the my Mystery-Conn to the net:

Please take a look at them and tell me what you think! It´s a 229.xxx burnished gold alto with some strange features, for example no micro-tuner, different front F-key, octave key etc............

:shock: Looks like it's been "semi-Selmerized"! Those RH pinkie touches and that octave touch are definitely Selmer-like.

Maybe it was a mad repairman's experiment! :twisted: Or maybe it had missing parts.

Well, I didn't look into this thread before the "Great Crash" -- so did anybody reach any conclusions about Frankenhorn here? Looks intriguing. . . .

How does it play?
