                No, I’ve never had one. I’ve owned three 22B trumpets - a 1923, a 1929, and a 1968 or 9. The 22B is a smaller bore than the 5B and is far more common than the 5B.

                    @Anthony-Lenzo I have a lot of vintage Conn trumpets (ranging from the 1920s through the 1970s), but all of mine have the smaller, .438" bore size (22B, 24B, 6B, 36B, 15B, 17B.) So, I am not very familiar with vintage Conn trumpets like your 5B, which has a larger bore size. But, it is likely a good quality instrument, if you prefer that larger (ML) size bore.

                      @LegendaryConnMan Wow you must really like Conn.trumpets .I had a 22B. Vintage from 1935 but it was in bad shape needed a valve overhaul and it was too expensive to do .But now this Conn 5B that I have is older than the 22B it's from 1922 and it's built like a tank.I really like the 5B just not finding much info on it.Hey thanks for your help.Anthony
