Rare Conn 8B Trumpet - Stunningly Beautiful!
Location:
Clifton Park, NY
Description:
The rare and much sought-after Conn 8B. The same model used by Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw and others.What Conn said in 1963:The new Conn 8B Trumpet is a feather-light masterpiece ... brilliant in tone, so light in weight... skillfully created by the world's finest craftsmen. Conn 8B: Anti-Bounce Valves, Honed Pistons, Positive Valve Indexing, Protected Covered Springs, Undercut Tuning Slides, LustreConn Finish, Full, Wide Left Hand Grip, Adjustable 3rd Valve Throw Ring, 3rd Valve Stop Rod, Acoustically Superior Calibore, Total Weight only 38 ounces.What Conn said in 1966:Designed to please the performer who demands an exceptionally lightweight (2 pounds, 6 ounces) free-blowing trumpet with just the right amount of edge to project in any brass section. Response is instantaneous. Aluminum valve stems. Aluminum guide cup. Lightweight braces. Third valve slide throw ring. Brass bell. Length 21½". Bell 4 5/8".This one is from 1965 and is in stunningly beautiful condition. Not mint, but it's close. There are a few small spots with lacquer wear and other small blemishes. This has just returned from being serviced at J Landress Brass, where minor bell dents removed, and a PVA precision valve alignment was done. Also some investigation into minor oxidation on the leadpipe, but it was decided it was only surface oxidation. Comes with a Conn 7C mouthpiece (a bit worn), and the original Conn case which is in excellent condition.Ready to Play!
