![A silver-plated Conn 'New Wonder' Series II tenor saxophone, with a serial number which dates manufacture to 1934. It is a very late "Transitional" model tenor sax with split bell-keys, and was manufactured just before production of the Conn 10M started. Berry played a tenor saxophone almost identical to this one. However, the front of the bell of Berry's saxophone was more ornately engraved with various art deco designs.[9]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5c/Conn_Transitional_Tenor_Sax_1934.JPG/1280px-Conn_Transitional_Tenor_Sax_1934.JPG)
