I love Mike Cross' music. I bought a J-40 in 75 or 76, still have it.

I restored it, and while a lot of banjos have passed through my hands over the years, including some more exotic instruments like an Orpheum #3 and a couple of fancy S.S.Stewarts, it always came down to this one being the keeper.

Chas said:Your uncle left you a fine instrument- many consider the Conn Conqueror the best vintage tenor of the 20th Century. It is a real pity that it isn't being played, so you should really consider taking up the sax. It's not the easiest instrument, but it's very rewarding all the same. I have the exact same case - mine has an insert for a clarinet on top of the inner box lid. Very cool. I also see that you have some nice vintage mouthpieces there- I see a vintage Otto Link and a couple of hard rubber pieces. Very nice. I use a Conn Eagle, which was probably the same model of mouthpiece that was originally sold with the 30M.
