We
have now obtained Ronnies original Tenor a CONN 10M 301399 c. 1942. This
is the Lady Face model with rolled tone holes.
We
have written provenances from both Pete King & Martin Block attesting
to this. Ronnie was a great fan of Lester Young who also played this
model.
Ronnie
played this instrument prior to and around 1953 we display a picture of
the famous coalition Band of 1953 featuring all the greats of this era.
This was a talented but short lived band.
The
first purchaser was Arthur Sulman who bought it from Ronnie in a bar!
However,
this now joins Ronnies beloved Selmer M 53604 (1953) a Super Balanced
Action model in our collection with Tubbys last Mk6.
