You are bidding on a Vintage 1930’s CG CONN USA Cornet model 80A. I am not an expert on musical instruments so my description is from observation and what I learned on the website “The Conn Loyalist”. Please feel free to email questions or to request additional photos. Here’s what I know. It measures 16 ½ inches (without the mouthpiece). The bell measures 4 ½ inches diameter. The serial number located on the side of the second slide is 305935 and the model number located near the mouthpiece is 80A.The mouthpiece is stamped “Frank Houlton Chicago 30 “ Overall condition is original and very good with some small areas of wear from use. The etching is very deep and clear. The writing on the bell states “ C.G. CONN USA ELKHART-IND. The slides move easily and don’t stick. The finger buttons are topped with mother of pearl and their condition is very good . The case is intact and has no major cracks , breaks or tears. The velvet inside is also nice but has some wear marks. Both latches work but I don’t have a key for the locks. I haven’t made any attempt to clean or adjust this instrument. I will leave that for the experts. Free shipping to the winning bidder. Continental USA only.
Thanks for looking.
A bit about the seller……
I purchase most of my items at garage and estate sales. I do my best to test and describe them accurately but I can make mistakes. Keep in mind many of these items are used and most likely won’t work forever. I offer returns on most of my listings so please CONTACT ME if there is a problem with your item. I will work to resolve problems but I am not a big retail store and can’t afford to pay for return shipping
Note:
Seller may at his own discretion change USPS parcel post service for Fedex ground service. I some extreme cases when the UPS calculator is wrong (when my cost is $4.00 more than the buyer paid), I will ship Fedex ground instead. This will not effect your final cost and tracking and insurance will always be provided if paid for.
