Hey all
~ Sorry, I don't know too much about that New Wonder, but I believe it could be fairly valuable.

Yesterday, I answered a craigslist ad for an "antique conn trumpet"
From the pictures, it looked like an old 22b or something. I went to the seller's house, and it's a 1935 Conn 22B New York Symphony Special trumpet. The lacquer is about 40-50% remaining, a few dings, and the finger hook is missing. These models had the deluxe engraving, all the way up the bell to the crook, as well as around the rim of the bell, and much more ornate around the "Conn" logo.

She was asking $100, a steal, but I talked her down to $80! I took it home, cleaned it out in my little shop with my Dad, and it plays beautifully! Ridiculously fast and light valves, good slotting, even response all around.

It also came with a New York Bach 17c1 mouthpiece in very nice shape. The case itself is disgusting, but has an original emblem from the music store in Buffalo where my first horn was bought!

Thanks guys

~
