The Legacy of Conn Saxophones

The first saxophone manufacturer in the United States, Conn began its legacy in the 1880s and quickly became the largest saxophone maker in the world. Noted for distinctive sound and innovative designs, Conn saxophones have been the instrument of choice for top saxophonists around the world.

After the reintroduction of the limited Connfirmation model, Conn heard the demand from saxophonists seeking a broadly available version of the true vintage American sound matched with modern ergonomics and scale.

Conn CAS711 Connquest Alto Saxophone

Conn is proud to introduce the Connquest, a professional alto saxophone with extraordinary acoustics and resonance. Designed and hand-built for a warm, colorful, and robust sound with full flexibility, the Connquest offers the legendary Conn sound in a modern horn: a saxophone made for saxophonists, by saxophonists.

The Connquest was developed with and for professional saxophonists. Combining traditional knowledge with modern technology, Conn has created an instrument with outstanding acoustics and response: the Connquest’s exceptionally free-blowing sound is resonant and even throughout the entire scale of the instrument while holding remarkable intonation, lightning-fast response, and massive projection.

Complementing the Connquest’s sound is its keywork: a modern marvel of comfortable keys with quick and confident action, each precisely hand-adjusted. Straight-cut tone holes undergo a three-phase leveling process, creating an ideal foundation for the Pisoni Pro pads with classic Conn riveted flat resonators.

Every detail is engineered to contribute to the Connquest’s singular identity: the unique generative bell brace, retro-modern wire guards and neck key, oversized bow brace, knurled neck screw, lightweight neck receiver, tapered neck tenon, and more. The result is a true modern Conn: distinctive in design, bold in sound, and beautiful from every angle.

Protected in a lightweight, hardshell backpack case with removable storage pouch, the Connquest comes with a full accessory kit including a hand-finished Brilhart Ebolin mouthpiece.
