I can't send the link from my phone but you can do a search on EBay for this:

" SAX SOPRANO KING IN DO
SERIAL 60143"

Mmmmm, mmmm, mmm. I'm not sure I can bring myself to make an international purchase .... but that's a good find.

OK, I bit the bullet and have an E&R on the way, so wife said I have to put the Conn is up for sale.

I sold one of my Martins a few months ago but I am am keeping the "other" one. Here are some photos as these DO exist. I had 2 Bueschers, 3 Conns, 2 Holtons and the 2 Martins and the Martins are the best of the bunch. When they come up for sale they are usually quite expensive in the $1,500 range when overhauled even though they are only keyed up to Eb. The Holtons go up to F.

I've been wanting one since 2008 (before they were released) when I first heard of them.
I just couldn't pass up this deal. It should ship on Tuesday, but it's coming from out of the country so it may take a while.

I'll let you know what I think.

I am glad you bought that one. I kept staring at the auction, trying to figure out how to raise the money

You could always sell a bari...

Laksar still has a lacquered one available, but I took the silver plated one.

(He may have more available, but those are the two he had in his possession as of last night.)

Hmm, 10 baris and 0 C-sopranos...that might be a good plan!
