Try a buescher.

Part of this comment is "no one likes my horn!" and the other part is "people who play my horn say holy crap!!!"

at least a buescher costs a lot less.

Then, I must also be an oddball. I know that many of my friends and acquaintances have made that statement about me. I have lusted after both of those for a very long time.

Which model Constellation did Maynard Play? I think Miles also might have also played a Constellation.

I have a Conn 48B Vocabell made in 1938 and I love it. It is well balanced in all registers and I actually feel more secure playing this than my Bach 43 Sterling bell. I also have a Constellation Cornet and Trumpet which I like, but are not great all around horns.

Who said that Ursa and I were in 'THE UPPER'? The last time I checked, Ursa was in the Manistee area and I am in Grand Rapids. According to my Official MIchigan State Highway Dept. map, both of these cities are in the lower penninisula. Those who claim to be "YOOPERS" call us trolls, because we live below the bridge.

Sorry, thought you guys were up near Manistique, MI. I misread your message. I used to get up around Escanaba a good bit and there was a small jazz group I used to play with in Manistique in the 80s. The guys all had vintage horns but I have not heard from them in several years.

I love the 22B trumpet and play regulary on my 80A cornet.
Great instruments...

How about your 16B Coprion Bell?
It seems many people are looking for those "Coprion Bell series" of vintage conn

The Conn 40B with full engraving, satin silver, and gold wash bell is my favorite. It plays great and nothing else looks quite like it!
