Conn Saxophone Serial Number List. Years and Serial Numbers are approximate, Pictures all Models, Thanks Pete, and to all contributers! May 03, 2011 Yet there is NO Conn Serial list which can explain the numbers on these 21M's (in the 700,000's). So, another gap in the info which not even the selmer-conn site can justify. I suppose it's possible that Henken developed the 18/20M's.although I had always thought they came about in the '70's, and not 80's. Serial Numbers There are numerous serial numbers lists for Holton instruments on the web today, so the list below I’m not confident on who to attribute this list to. However, if you have a dated receipt of a horn’s serial number, please contact us through the link in the header so we can add more detail to this serial number. Note: Note: From 1987 to present, add 50 to the serial number prefix to calculate the year of manufacture.1980 - 1986 serial numbers are for student trumpet and cornets only. Other cup mouthpiece serial numbers are not available at this time.
Hi
I have a Conn 10M (naked lady) tenor saxophone with the serial number T 309516 L. What does the T pre-fix mean? I can find no reference to a T prefix. From researching online the serial number suggests that it is a 1945 model? I bought the saxophone used in the late 1970s. Thanks!

The T and L letters on your C. 1944/45 vintage 10M are Conn's old catalog designation for T=Tenor and L=Low Pitch (A=440).

Thank you so much. I don't suppose you would know what the original case that came with this 1944/45 Conn 10M saxophone looked like? The case that I have is brown with distinctive red, blue and white diagonal fabric stripes on the exterior lid of the box. Might this be the original Conn case?
Thanks again.

Hi Peter,
Cg Conn Saxophone Serial Numbers
I'd need to see some photos as your description does not sound as though it is. Conn did use a variety of cases including faux leather covered and tweed/leather combo for example.
One consistent is the presence of the old Conn 'marching band figures' logo in the form of a stamped metal plate. This was to be found affixed to the interior and exterior, although they do go missing after so many decades!

Hello. Purpose of application software. You mentioned the T stands for tenor on Conns. Were there later models where they used a B instead of a T on tenors?

Despite purchasing all of the assets of the Adolphe Sax Company in 1928, Selmer did not start selling saxophones bearing the Adolphe Sax name until 1931. The last Adolphe Sax saxophone recorded in the Selmer Paris archives was sold in 1944. Its likely that production of Adolphe Sax instruments ceased at the onset of WWII sometime after May of 1940. Any Adolphe Sax instrument sold after this date was most likely already made or assemble from pre-existing parts. For example, the record shows that all of the recorded Adolphe Sax instrument sales between 1940-1941 were from instruments already manufactued between 1931-36.
There is a fairly detailed record of these instruments recorded in a log book in the Selmer archives in Paris up to 1936 through serial number ~1364. The record is much less complete after 1936. Instruments manufactured after 1936 range in serial number from ~1350-3600. The log book shows the serial numbers jumping around quite a bit for the Selmer/Adolphe Sax saxophones. Even so, its possible from this record to assemble a basic serial number chart for these instruments. Some instruments were stamped H. Selmer and some were not. All were stamped Adolphe Sax 84 Rue Myrha. By comparing early verses later instruments, it becomes clear that some Adolphe Sax Selmer saxophones were assembled from the old Adolphe Sax tooling and other were put togther using parts and tooling from the Selmer St. Louis Gold Metal model instruments.
