Question: What does 20M on an alto saxophone mean!?
Just wondering, I've been playing the same sax for years and never figured out what it means!. I know that there are different ones as well like 24M,10M etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
"M" was used by Conn to signify saxophone, and the "M" appeared in the serial numbers of the New Wonder Series II and early "M Series" saxophones!. The differences are obvious to most collectors!. Most of these earlier horns are silver plated!. Under the serial number there is an L to indicate low pitch!. By 1969, low pitch had been adopted as the standard and there were no longer any high pitched horns being produced!. The earlier horns also had a patent number on them which corresponds with the rolled tone holes!. The 1969 horns have no patent number!. There are numerous other differences; like the split bell keys, fingernail G# key, and other less obvious features!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
