BT,

I've split your inquiry from the thread you piggybacked it on as this is how new questions should be posted.

You have a Conn 6M Alto 1932/33 era sax. This is the period of the so called "transitional" model, that is horns that display charactoristics of both the older New Wonder Series II, and the newer "Artist" or commonly referred to "Lady Face/Naked Lady" models.

I would have to see photos of your horn to determine exactly where your horn falls into this period of model transition design and stylistically.

Are you saying that the last repair tech removed the Micro Tuner off of your neck without your consent? That is a definitely a no no. Who is the tech who did the work on your horn?
