                                                         1940 Conn Connqueror 30M
 The 30M takes the 10M to a whole new level, and it is an engineering marvel. The left hand table on this horn is unlike any other in the saxophone world. If Conn had not gone full bore into the student horn business and continued to up their game in this regard, I am confident they would now hold the mantle of "most sought after and over priced horns ever made" that Selmer enjoys. Why? This is the most space-aged design ever. It is so far
ahead of the bench mark firmly planted by the Mark VI. It is fascinating to imagine what Conn would have done if they let this/these engineer(s) loose on ever newer designs. The left hand table has fourteen contact points, eight keys, and three micro-adjustment screws. Once it is in proper adjustment it feels like any other M series table, but if it is sloppy, poorly fit, and riddled with lost motion, it feels utterly terrible; far more so than its normal M series counterparts in similar poor adjustment.
This horn plays with all the enormity and power you'd expect from a 40's era Conn. Wow.
