Okay. I like bottom sprung valves. So much less complicated. I can switch them out for the feel I like. And when putting the valves back in the casings, there's no way to get them turned in the wrong direction. Very simple system that works great, for me. My 80A always gets admiring looks from the trumpet playing crowd and they love the feel of the valves when they try it.

I would have given my 80A to a needy school kid but oiling the valves is to hard. Gluing the corks to the top of the piston helps. But I personally think its the dumbest idea Conn ever came up with. Hint: It is no longer used and no onelse uses it. Once in a blue moon I can change top springs out in about 5 minutes. But again..just me. Almost ever old cornet IO have bought (a bunch) immediately gets Yamaha springs

That horn is mighty pretty!!!!!

Cool. Give it to me. I have no problem with the valves. ☺

sale pending!

@N1684T it's not my new baby I'm actually selling it. Haven't played in years and it's about time someone else got some enjoyment out of it.

Sold the Jupiter 520 M cornet on ebay. Buyer got an excellent price for a quality cornet. Learned my lesson. When I purchased this cornet, didn't think about resale value.

Good point.

Hey there, just messaged but figured might as well reply here to. I actually live in the bay area and if this is still available would love to talk about swinging by and picking it up.

Thanks!

Instrument is now sold.

@kehaulani Lyre screw is missing...

I guess I'll have to knock another hundred dollars off of that, that being such a crucial part of any horn. 😁

As this post is by this time almost three years old, I'm closing it.

After two years, I'm locking this thread.
