Information sourced on line.
Chu Berry is the unofficial name of a series of saxophones produced by the CG Conn company during the 1920s, though it is more accurate to refer to them as the Conn New Wonder Series II. C.G. Conn never actually used the term "Chu Berry" to refer to any of their saxophones. Berry played a model of tenor sax generally known as the Conn Transitional and is not known to have ever played a New Wonder Series II. Some saxophone owners use the term "Chu Berry" in reference to any Conn saxophone made between 1910 and the mid-1930s, including soprano, alto, baritone and C melody saxophones, none of which Berry played.
