One thing that I don't do, is I don't put a lot of effects on my sax when I play. With a more open face, you'll want to use a softer reed. I like Vanduren reeds, and I vary between a 2-3 1/2, depending on the mouthpiece I'm using. I have a Brillhart Ebolin I like for some softer stuff where i want a more even mellow tone. Ironically, one of the mouthpieces I like the most is a Rico Royal B3, which is an inexpensive mouthpiece, with a Rovner Lig. For jazz, funk, and stuff that really screams, I use an older Otto Link Super Tone Master, #5 facing. I have a collection of mouthpieces, and depending on the tone I'm looking for, I primarily use one of these three. The pads on my 10M are a premium leather plastic resonator pad. It seems as if non-rolled might be a little brighter, but that could be partly due to the pads also. I'd go for the 10M.īy jazzfool132 on 2:24:09 PM connsaxman_jim, what is your horn set up? (what mouthpiece, saxophone, and what reeds do u use? -I play a 1948 Conn 10M (doesn't have the rolled tone holes) I haven't noticed to much difference between rolled vs. I haven't found anything that sounds like a Conn tenor. The sound is INCREDIBLE! I let a friend borrow it who offered to trade me his brand new Selmer Paris for it! The action is still a little clunky on the 10M, but very positive and reliable. I had it relaquered and repadded a couple years ago with new resonator pads, and I use either an Otto Link Super Tone Master or a Selmer C*80 mouthpiece with a Rovner MKIII lig. The horn I gig with, that I absolutely LOVE is a 1948 Conn 10M Naked Lady that belonged to my father. The key positioning is better closer to the 10M. the intonation is much better than the New Wonder. It sounds really good, and plays pretty good too. I haven't really played the Chu all that much, as I purchased it on Ebay a few months ago and just recently finished restoring it. Many of these features were later standard on the M series.

There were a number of advancements made on the Chu Berry, also known as the New Wonder Series II. The Chu berry is a lot better than the New Wonder. The action is "clunky" and the key arrangement is somewhat cumbersome. The New Wonder is a neat old horn, but I don't play it too much. I collect Conn saxes and actually, I own a 1922 Conn New Wonder, a 1932 Conn Chu Berry and a 1948 Conn 10M naked lady.
