In this electrifying sitcom-length installment of his Repairman's Overview series, saxopjhone repairman Matt Stohrer of www.StohrerMusic.com gets passionate and maybe a little choked up towards the end talking about the unique and beautiful and delicate and amazing saxophone that is the Conn Connqueror, otherwise known as the 30M tenor and the 26M alto.
Since these horns are based on the body tube of the Conn 10M and 6M respectively, Matt mostly talks about what makes these different from the 10M and 6M, so you should go watch the video "Repairman's Overview: Conn 10M Tenor Saxophone" first to get the scoop on the basics of the construction and body tube, and also the video "Saxophone Repair Topic: Conn Pivot Screw Lock Screws" for the down and dirty on the teensy-weensy little lock screws that make up a major portion of working on a Connqueror. So yeah, just like, a whole hour of talking about Conn saxophones. Sound like you idea of fun? Then you and Matt would get along!

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.

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"

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

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.

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!

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?

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

@athebeast1769 3 года назад

what is that extra key next to the F key in the right hand?

@seltzerwater1013 3 года назад

@whydoubt 10 лет назад

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?

@StohrerMusic 10 лет назад

not that I know of. youtube puts stuff in reverse chronological order.

@coltonbosse58 4 года назад

What’s the key pearl between the F and E keys

@nolangottfried9860 4 года назад

trill key for G# i think.

@dickkieboy 4 года назад

I love your Video, so much knowledge! SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE!

@newking70 10 лет назад

are the parts interchangeable?

@StohrerMusic 10 лет назад

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.

@newking70 10 лет назад

***** bummer....there's a nice 30m body on fleabay.

at home I have a connstellation tenor trombone.

@ItalianDaves 8 лет назад

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

@StohrerMusic 8 лет назад

+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.

@ItalianDaves 8 лет назад

+Matt Storer thanks Matt, it's one of those spheres that contain the adjustment thing, the top one of the 2 that are on the upper bar that moves when you press C and B. thanks

@StohrerMusic 8 лет назад

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

@ItalianDaves 8 лет назад

+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.

@ItalianDaves 8 лет назад

+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
