Hello to all. A few days back. I lost on a all out bidding war for this trumpet. Was a lot of fun though. It looked to have been well cared for. The seller had trumpet know how and had sold some previous horns with all satisfied customers. My interest in horn was that it was first a small bore and these earlier ones had upper springs and double valve guides. Which I figured would be a plus over the later bottom springs ones. I seem to do better on the smaller bore sizes since I am a comeback player and older with not the air I use to have. I have a S1 model small bore #448. King-20 trumpet 1963-64 make. The 1923 Conn had a #.433 bore. Has anyone on our site ever played these make of horns. If the Conn was still in tune. I wonder which would sound the best over all? May be better off with the H.N. White trumpet. Since it is like new. The other small bore Conn trumpet mention on the Conn Loyalist was a 6B Conn Victor. Do not see many of those. They seem to have come with bottom spring valves only. Since I play mostly church hymnals. That probably would not matter. all thoughts and opinions are welcomed. The Conn 22B went for $260.00 plus shipping. Until
