    Vintage 1920 C.G. Conn "Perfected Wonder" Cornet
    In the early 20
    th
    century, Conn produced new models of their “Perfected Wonder” trumpet and cornet lines annually, making this instrument a perfect addition for any museum or collector of music history. This 1920 Model of the Conn “Perfected Wonder” cornet is a rare example from one of the earlier years of the Wonder Cornet lineup, and lacks a “union made” stamp.
    The instrument features a unique double water key, The instrument has had its valves re-built to perfection, and has also received some touch-up work to its plating.
    Marked on the valve cluster is a "1
    ½
    " which
    we think
    indicates bore size. This particular cornet was manufactured in New York, USA.
    Serial#: 63976
    The new Protec case shown is included.
