      A friend gave me a 1957 Conn 12b. He was expressing his gratitude for repair I’ve done for him over the years. It is a little beat up but I can fix that. MAN, WHAT A GORGEOUS SOUND IT HAS!!!

          Nope. It was from a pro player with the initials G C. Should I know this painter with the initials G F?

            I have only owned two Conn's in my life ( so far ) . First was a 1952 28B Constellation I played between '53 and'65 and these days a 1999 Conn Vintage One, and the sound on both was and is GORGEOUS.

            1940 Olds Recording, 1942 Buescher True Tone 400 ,1999 Conn Vintage One Bb trumpet, A 1952 Selmer Paris, A 2020 Getzen 400 and a Manchester Brass ACB custom pro Bb trumpet, a 1962 Conn Victor 5A Cornet.

              I once had both a Conn 12b and e Conn 22b, pretty much the same instruments apart from the bell; the 12b has a copper bell rather than the yellow brass bell from the 22b

              I prefereer the 22b: better projection so easier to play in company. Both are great horns. Oil the valves!

              Getzen, Conn, Melody Maker and -too- many Warburton pieces

                I have one, if it hasn't gotten lost in the moving shuffle. It is a fine player, and I like the blow.
