I have tried a 1962 Conn 5A cornet.
A 1967 one is seen at
The Conn Loyalist

I have never played a 1962 Conn 38A Connstellation cornet with Coprion under the nickel.
A 1966 non-Coprion one is seen at
The Conn Loyalist

If anyone here has played both, please compare the following for me:
Restriction - Does the 38A feel more open, require more air than the 5A?
Tone - Does the 38A sound more Teutonic or more mellow than the 5A?
Any other comparisons you might want to add?
