One of the threads I miss most from the old site. Here is a 1870s Boston Orchestra model SARV with original case and A slide. The horn plays absolutely great.

Amazing collection Bob!! I have played three different Directors (Leadpipe going into the 1st valve). The only other cornets that played equally bad were Ambassadors . Granted they are not directors!!
I am a conn nut (like you). My 1909 and 1911 (perfected wonder) play really well. The 1911 is a small bore and is very sweet. My 1908 Wonderphone is amazing it actually plays bit better than my '51 36A. I shake my head and wonder how this is possiple. Only my strad plays better than my Wonderphone.
I have had a couple '70's Conns made in Japan (16A???) They play amazingly well.
