W Scott is an unknown quantity at this point
In a word----garbage! Conn was on the cutting edge of trumpet development for years. The Symphonys' from the 20's, the Vocabells from the 40's, the Conn Wonder cornets, ----well, you get the idea. These were very good instruments that are still fun to play and many of these models (such as the Vocabells) still bring top dollar in the E-Bay auctions.

The Constellation was merely the last, and most modern horn from a distinguished old company that was sold to a conglomerate. That conglomerate didn't do much of interest for almost thirty years until the Conn V1 came out. But that's another story.....................
