You made me realize just how special my M26 is and next to that the repairman I go to hahah. The light feeling you describe when the instrument is well taken care of is a very special comfortable feeling when playing. Thank you for explaining it so clearly and beautifully.

Matt, You really are top-notch, and I absolutely love your work. Many thanks, and keep it up, please!!

Thanks Matt, Wonderful overview! I play a Conn 26M from 1935, (unfortunately) it is relaquered, but it plays and sounds wonderful, when I play it I got always comments like "Wow, great sound"

I have a 10M 272870 Love it, ranges from gentle to savage, and doubles as a mechanical brainteaser

Thanks for the videos, they are going to be reference for years ahead.

You do excellent videos, Matt. They are very informative. Thank you.

My late brother sold his 1929 Conn Tenor to Charles Lloyd in the early nineties after his was stolen in Europe. He played a Selmer Mark VI until he bought my brothers Conn. We saw Lloyd in concert in the nineties and my brother asked Charles what he thought of the Selmer and he said they are like a “ typewriter “. I think he meant the sound of the Conn and the way you can bend and shape it’s sound.

Matt, I think that this is one of your finest videos. Just awesome!

The last 1 minute of this video, that story, is extraordinary!

Been looking forward to this video for a long time! Thanks for putting it together. Really excited to get my '36 26M to you next summer, it's a great horn now, but I know you can help it reach it's full potential! Always enjoy your vids my friend, keep em coming!

Thank you for the video

great video! :)

Hey Matt. I have found a 26m that I am considering purchasing. I am hoping to check it out in person within the next few days. The current owner has notified me that a couple of the pads and rollers were replaced. Besides that the pictures look as if the instrument is in near mint condition...obviously ill know for sure once i see it in person. They are asking 3,500 dollars for it. If I play it and really like it, do you think this is a fair price or should I aim lower since some of the original rollers are missing. Just curious about your thoughts. Thanks!

Do you think the CONNQUEROR followed by the CONNSTELLATION were the best saxophones made in USA? Thank you for your excellent and informative videos !!!

Proud owner of a '37.

I recently purchased a used tenor sax with a "like new" vintage A Gigliotti 7G* tenor mouth piece. What would it be worth and as an intermediate player, should I be using it?

Early in this video you say that the 10M overview should be watched first, yet in the "Open Source Saxophone Project" playlist, the 10M overview comes later. Any reason for the inconsistency?

are the parts interchangeable?

@StohrerMusic

some parts are the same from the 30M/26M to the 10M/6M, but most are not. but even if parts are the same from one horn to the next, the parts are not "interchangeable" without key fitting- in the same way you can't just take a piston from one car and slap it into another. the tolerances are too fine, so while it would work to (for example) take a 10M palm D and put it on a 30M, it would still involve work to make it fit properly. but most parts of the 30M and 26M are not identical to their counterparts in the 10M and 6M.

hello my 30M is missing one of these little balls that you unscrew to adjust the keys, is there anywhere I can get one replacement? thanks

+Daniele “Dave” Drammauta assuming you are talking about the adjusting screws (unique to the 30M/26M), you will need to have it made. If you are talking about the tiny locking screws, you can buy them from Ferree's Tools.

Oh wow, how did that come off? Those are silver soldered to the key. You'll need to make a replacement.

+Matt Storer I don't think it's soldered. the other one is kept in place with a pivot screw, I think you are supposed to take it out to adjust the height as you describe on the video.

+Matt Storer if you go to 6.04 on your video, you are exactly placing your finger on it. it' not the sphere with the adjustment, it's the sphere on top of it, on the upper bar. thanks
