I started a new software development gig, and my manager is Jason Harrelson. Not the trumpet maker, however. I asked him if he ever got confused with the other guy and he says "occasionally." Pretty funny!

I paid $150 at a junk store for this ML 43…lol
(I added the case cover later, though)

Wow! JUST WOW.

Full disclosure - it was about 30 years ago, but I still play it. Great instrument.

Ok, so maybe $500 today? Still good.

@Jolter or anybody for that matter, if you get locked out I can reset your password. You're always free to create a new account.

I've been here since we started (March 2019) and have never been asked to change my password. I do stay logged in between sessions (usually).

I too have been here without log in problems with the exception of a brief period when a Moderator had unilaterally banned me off of TB out of a fit of rage. That Moderator was later permanently banned when his rage continued onto others here at TB, so in a way, I feel vindicated for that brief time away.

I'm sorry that happened. Glad you're still around.

For what it's worth, I am the FIRST user and have never changed my password.

I don't remember enabling that feature. However, your best bet is to sign on using an SSO by Google or Facebook. Then you don't have to worry about passwords at all.

Here for sale is a vintage Conn 2B "New World Symphony." I don't know a whole lot about it but I am 95% certain this is the correct model, as several gurus on this site have verified that for me.

I believe the horn was "restored" at some point. What this means, I'm not entirely sure, but the valves are great and compression is solid. It plays quite well and has a bright, vintage Conn tone.

I purchased it for $600 and never used it, so I'm looking to just break even.

$600 + shipping

SOLD - 9/8/21

@carl-d said in Need 1st valve for 1941 Conn 2B New World Symphony:

@administrator A 1927 2B is a different horn then a 1941 wrong valve.

Shoot. What do I know. Best of luck in your "hunt."

Well, I have a whole trumpet I can sell you.

I spent 5 years studying the trumpet at a collegiate level, let alone 5 minutes.

@bobmiller1969 said in What is this Conn?:

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

Yes. I think the valves are new too.

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.

Asking $700 + shipping.

Bach 43* for sale. * means lightweight bell. Plays nicely, although it does need repairs. Valves are in good shape and compression is quite nice. Probably early Elkhart era.

I can tell you that my Radial bell is very, very large. I will have to measure it tomorrow to see precisely how large, but larger than almost all modern production trumpets.

What is this? I think it's a Tibetan spiritual / religious horn, kind of like a didgeridoo or alpenhorn. Very interesting.

Lol. I chose a new hobby.

Is this Adam Rapa's line of equipment?

@flugelgirl said in #AmandasBench:

It really is an exceptional little horn! It’s also tiny - about the size of an Eb cornet. Cutest tiny flugel ever!

Is it even remotely playable?
