    Very intimate sounding, like a Selmer Super Balanced Action. I have heard the 156 is better than the earlier "Art Deco", I wondered if this is true and if you know what is their difference?

    As i hear it, the Cutter's tone peaks about 2 partials higher than the 6M's. That's the core - a higher frequency. Its there on the 6M too, but its delicate. The midrange core on the 6M is not nearly so prominent on the Cutter.

    Love your playing! , both horns are great, I ‘ve owned 4 New Wonder II’s, and 4 transitionals based on the body of NWII’s, (splitkey bell) they all sound a bit different!, (different pads?/condition etc..) is it because they’re handmade ?

    My father played a Conn 10M exclusively when he had his band in the late 40's. I still have old photos of him playing it with his band. Nice smokey tone.

    My father had given me his silver plated gold bell 6M when I decided I wanted to play the saxophone, and I've had it since 1964, the horn itself from 1939. Still to this day, the best sounding horn I've ever played, and I've played many as I used to sell saxophones for a living. Call me biased, but the Conn has always been a magic horn for me. You do it justice. This horn is made to sing

    Wow, that was a stark difference. The NWII had a nice warmth, low buzz, sort of low tone that creates a nice soothing effect. The 10M looks and sound bigger- immediately noticed a difference and wondered if you anything else changed besides the horn (did he get closer or use a different mouth piece. Thanks for sharing, this was great! I'm looking at a NW II bari that has the same buzz effect as the tenor. I was curious if that was due to the design or the horn itself. So this was very helpful. I def prefer the warm sorta muffled buzz of the NWII for general listening, but I could see how the 10M would be better for big band upbeat numbers.

  • @bluscorpion
    @bluscorpion Жыл бұрын

    So I'm listening to this again, and initially the 10m sounds brighter, but then they sound exactly the same. Same warmth and buzz- the 10m is a bit more resonant. But I think I figured out the big difference isn't the horn, but your comfort. I noticed you really went in while playing the 10M, so I'm guessing you enjoy that horn better.
