The Legacy of CONN Saxophones
The CONN legacy began in the 1880s, when the company became the first saxophone manufacturer in the United States. Renowned for superior quality and innovative designs, CONN quickly grew to become the largest saxophone manufacturer in the world. For more than a century, CONN saxophones have been the instruments of choice for top saxophonists across the globe.
In recent years, CONN has listened carefully to the resounding call from musicians seeking a true vintage American sound, combined with modern ergonomics and scale, and crafted specifically for jazz and commercial genres.
Introducing the CONN CAS811 CONNfirmation Alto Saxophone
CONN is proud to introduce the CONNfirmation, a professional alto saxophone with unsurpassed acoustics and resonance. Designed and hand-crafted for a sound that is warm, colorful, and robust with maximum flexibility, the legendary CONN sound is now available in a modern horn with the CONNfirmation: a saxophone for musicians, by musicians.
The CONNfirmation was developed with and for today’s eminent jazz and commercial saxophonists. By combining traditional knowledge with state-of-the-art technology and innovation, CONN has created an instrument with superb acoustics. Throughout the entire scale, the CONNfirmation’s timbre is resonant and boasts remarkable intonation. It features a lightning-fast response, is exceptionally free-blowing, and offers massive projection.
Every element of the CONNfirmation is engineered to contribute to its singular identity: a unique generative bell brace, retro-modern wire guards and neck key, oversized bow brace, knurled neck screw, and lightweight neck receiver. The CAS811LTD150 Limited Edition 150th Anniversary model is further distinguished with true rolled tone holes, limited-numbered engraving, a bespoke grenadilla end plug, and a custom case.
