Re: Conn 80A (81A) Cornet questions

"#2 Bore New Wonder in Bb and A with mechanism
Becomes 80A Victor - 1915"
The Conn Loyalist

So how can a 1915 cornet eventually become tha Conn 80A, if the Conn 80A began in 1914?

It's a shame that for the first many years Conn did not stamp model numbers on their instruments.

Plus, the list of the old instruments and their specifications is so incomplete now, some lost to history.
