I have a Conn 28A (also from the same time frame), and wanted to compare them.
I have a theory re. "Conn 28A vs 38B" in relationship to "Mendez long cornet vs Mendez trumpet", but can't draw any real conclusions without playing them both side by side.

Thanks for the congratulations.Its scheduled to arrive this friday.Can't wait to get it!I would love to down the road a bit find a mendez trumpet and have the pair.I have read somewhere that the only real difference between the two is the leadpipe being conical.Other than that there almost identical.Thanks Again,Don
