Where do i find serial number on my Conn saxophone?

Question

Can only find 6079 stamped on it. It's marked Conn USA on the bell with what i believe they call the "shooting stars" design. everything i find tells of serial #'s in the 6000's are from 1903, but i don't believe mines that old. and no, no other numbers have been filed off next to the 6079. These numbers are below what i think is the right thumb "hook". it is obvious i'm not a sax player. picked this up at a yard sale some time ago.

Often these are hard to find, as you are finding out. Check on the ribs, underneath the keys. That made them particularly hard to file off, as you alluded to. There are also sites like that of Lars Kirmser that have serial runs - so does Dan Cipriano, and a few others. You can always contact Selmer (who took over Conn) - and then it went to UMI.

You probably hit this page already - same results, 1903. Could be . . . .

Answer 2

Saxophones frequently have the serial number on the back under the thumb rest. At least more modern ones do.
