Description
What Conn said in 1955:
This is the shortest, widest cornet in the entire Conn line… and it features the famous seamless COPRION bell which provides such exceptional power and ease of blowing. Amazing flexibility, most accurate scale. Sensational medium bore, large tone. Has the popular “Clickless Crysteel” bottom spring valves – another exclusive Conn feature that good cornet players appreciate because the action is so fast, so smooth. Built in Bb and A. Length 16 1/2″, weight 2 lbs. 14 oz., bell diameter 4 5/8″. In handsome two-tone tan and rawhide vinyl covered case, beautifully plush lined with mouthpiece and music lyre. Highly polished brass, nickel trim, Coprion bell, clear lacquer.
This horn seems to have been re-lacquered at some point in its life. The seriaAll valves and slides work as they should.
