Description

Vintage Conn Connstelation Cornet 28a Excellent Player 1957 Bag Mouthpiece
Unique Nickle over copper design makes Connstellations amazing horns.  This one looks good and plays good.
Playing
- This horn plays well. Tuning slides and valves move well.  It has good but not perfect compression evidenced by a good pop when the slides are pulled.  Thumb trigger is correctly configured with stop nuts.  Rarely is this the case when these are sold online.
Serial Number
- SN 649117. Made in 1957 when Conn was making some of the best horns ever and this a top of the line.
Finish
- Looks really good especially for it's age. Nickle Plating is 95%+ intact.  Lacquer is 85+% intact although some of it is cloudy.  There are a few minor dings and wear spots.  However, you have to be close to see these flaws.  There is also a spot missing in the nickle plating under the throat next to the valves which is hard to see. I tried to capture all this in photos.
Serviced -
Horn has been completely serviced including chemical cleaning, hand-washing, and ultrasonic clearning. Springs, felts and corks have been replaced as needed.  Play tested to ensure playability.
Case -
Includes Protec Gig bag in good used conditon.  This will protect the instrument.
Mouthpiece -
Includes a Bach 5C mouthpiece in good condition. It fits the instrument quite well.
