> Mornin yall,
> Anybody know of any ways to find out the age of an instrument? My great
aunt gave me an alto sax last night that she played in high school and i'd
like to find out more about it. Its made by C.G.Conn and has engraving on
the bell including an apparantely naked woman in a pentagon. I dont have
any clue where to start other than here even though its for clarinets. Are
there anywebsites that have information like that? All i can find are sites
selling new Conn instruments.

Look for a serial number on the sax and then check it out at

That should get you the age.
