Continental Colonial by Conn alto saxophone with authentic character
If you are looking for an alto saxophone with the look and character of an older American instrument, this Continental Colonial by Conn is an interesting option. It is a Conn stencil: a saxophone built by Conn but supplied under the Continental Colonial name.
That makes this used alto sax appealing to players who want an affordable vintage instrument with an authentic tonal character. The gold lacquer finish gives it a classic appearance.
Overhauled used saxophone
This Continental Colonial has been overhauled by us. During that overhaul, the instrument was fitted with pads with metal resonators.
At Magna Music, used saxophones are professionally checked in the in-house workshop and fully overhauled where needed. This way, you choose a pre-owned alto saxophone that has been technically prepared with care and is ready to be played seriously.
What makes a Conn stencil special
A stencil saxophone is built by an established manufacturer but sold under a different brand or store name. In the case of this Continental Colonial, that means you are essentially looking at an instrument built by Conn, with a different name engraved on the bell.
Many stencil saxophones like this were built from the late 1920s onward. For players who appreciate older saxes, that is exactly part of the appeal: you get the character of a well-known American maker in a more accessible used alto saxophone.
