Re: VINTAGE HORN EYE CANDY

So, yesterday my wife picks me up after work and says the church where she works is having a rummage sale and she picked up an old cornet that I should look at and see if I want.

Well, I'm not much into cornets, so when I get it home I open the case and find this:









Cool, eh?

Actaully, OK, I had to clean it up a bit, but that's about it.

I believe, based on the S/N 290623, that its a Conn Director from the late 20's. Sweet valves, sweet sound, sweet silver finish - the pictures don't do it justice!

Go ahead and drool!

Greg
