I'm cleaning out a lot of my horns... here's one I just recently bought,  love, and then proceeded to buy a few very expensive horns that force me to sell this instrument. This is what I get for buying too many and then seeing my credit card bill!  OUCH!

It's a wonderful Vintage Conn 2B New World Symphony Bb trumpet in Gold plate.  It does appear to be all original.  All slides and valves work really well. This was Conn's introduction of the "modern"  Bb trumpet,  a .460 bore (Medium Large today but huge back then), and plays VERY much like an old French Besson.  The sound is clean,  crisp,  and projecting.  It's even throughout the range of the horn and intonation quite good for a horn of this era.  The valves look great and I think are original. 

Here's more info on the horn (more info can also be found at the "conn loyalist" pages online).

I have  a bunch invested into this instrument  but just bought a new flugelhorn on ebay and need to cover that cost.   So here's your chance to get a tremendous vintage horn at a great price.

I will ship worldwide (no insurance on international orders unless I claim FULL value for customs,  no exceptions).   For US  orders it will be $40 for priority shipping and insurance.  Canadian buyers will pay $50 (priority and insurance),  and foreign buyers will be charged $75.

Please check out all of my other auctions coming soon!

I have added three very low-fi  videos on Putfile for your viewing and listening.  The first video shows the horn a bit better... the second and third are really brief sound clips.   Pardon the rusty chops due to my accident yesterday.  No reverb or any additional  processing have been added.  The horn really does play great!
