What is this Conn?
-
I'm trying to sell this old Conn trumpet. I think it's a 2B, but I am not sure. Don't know what to ask for it yet.

Definitely a 2B. I haven't seen one of these pop up in a while. THe last one I saw went for $600-$700 as I recall, and had definitely been overbuffed when it was refinished, otherwise I probably would have bought it. Has this horn been refinished? -Bob

@administrator Also, the last one of these I saw listed had the French style underslung 3rd valve ring. I can only assume that this was optional. -Bob

Yes. I think the valves are new too.

Has the bell engraving been buffed a little too much, or is it just the photo? Should look more like this...
