The saxophones lost their rolled tone holes in 1948 and their Microtuners in 1954. Conn-Selmer manufacturing facilities are located in Elkhart, Indiana Cleveland and Eastlake, Ohio, and Monroe, North Carolina.

If it has "Pan American"Įngraved somewhere on the instrument, than it is most certainly NOT a 1971 instrument.
