  | Conn Connstellation Trumpet Dating All, I just received my Conn Constellation model 38B and need some help with the serial number as I cannot find it anywhere. The guy I purchased it from said it is 1966/1967 but would love to verify that. The serial number is: H92316 and it is Nickel Plated with brass slides and valve caps and bottoms. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff |

| Re: Conn Connstellation Trumpet Dating The serial number should be on the left hand side of the second valve. I don't think Conn moved the number's location from the early Connies. Maybe the trumpet has been replated and the numbers filled in? |

| Re: Conn Connstellation Trumpet Dating The numbers are really clear, I expected to really see a letter after the H. Seems really strange. |

The chart says: "H31247 - 1966" - quoted from The Conn Loyalist What might be confusing you, with reference to your other post about expecting to see 2 letters, that same chart says that the use of 2 letters at the beginning of the serial number started in 1973, with the "HA" in 1980. - morris | |

 | Re: Conn Connstellation Trumpet Dating Somewhere between 52-53 per serial list on Horn-u-copia. You have a nice horn. |
