Up For sale is a Lovey refurbished Conn 1940 22b trumpet:NEW YORK SYMPHONY SPECIAL
ENGRAVED ON LEAD PIPE
OFFICIALLY MAKING IT A SPECIAL
(see pic 4 )IT HAS been all refinished even the nickel...confirmed by my tech.
My tech said who refurb\'d this really know what they were doing.
See the engraving how crisp it is no over buffing out and blurring etcGIG READYI had My tech fully rebuild the cork with slots
for the valve guides. He aligned the valves also.
To me even the valves look like they may
have been re-plated. My tech was not sure but he said
they are in fantastic shape. ( see pics )
SLIDES popped great !!!
I did the below tests with out even putting OIL on valves !
AS far assideplay when you joggle the valve stems
half way down.
Virtually NOSlop at all.
I checked the compression by
removingthe slides and putting the valves all the way down.
Then I put my finger over the removedslide openings and blew.
Valve1 virtually No air
Valve 2 virtually No air
Valve3 virtually No air
I checked the air flow thru the whole horn by removing
the 1st slide and depressing all three valves.
When I blew relatively hard Virtually NO Airleak...
So My conclusion is the compression is Fantastic for a very old trumpet !!
Pro\'s will tell you also...\" how it sounds is the most important thing !! \"
Even our rabbit born in our yard stopped to take notice ( see pic 8 ) Now what Rabbit
doesn\'t know a lovely horn when she sees it ????????????/
The 3rd slide is smooth.
Case not original but in decent shape.
.
The serial number is 335xxx putting her at 1940.
NO obvious repairs to braces etc ( see all pics and zoom in ).
The only thing I saw was at the base of the support bar that attaches to the front
bell brace there is what may be a tiny repair. See pic 1
but it is pretty minor you can hardly notice it. This trumpet is lovely lovely and very RARE !
No smell at all on the horn.
All cork and felt and bottom springs are new !
I WILL SHIP IN A BRAND NEW GIG BAG NO CHARGE
It looks like someone
did change just the finger tops to larger type \" Olds \"
Style. Not the stems. They feel great under finger tips.
Some one asked if the lyre screw was original. I am not sure.
What the Conn loyalist says:
\" Of the 22B Specials that you see these days, about 75% have been
poorly relacquered, with the nice engraving buffed to oblivion.
The other 25% have original lacquer in poor condition.
Since the 22B Special was very much a professional instrument...etc \"
they go on:
\" A previous owner of a 22B Special had this to say about it upon first receiving it:
\"It speaks so easy, the tightest, best responding horn I have ever played. Most horns I have played feel like I am blowing
into something external. This horn seems to connect to the player like it is an extension of your body. With the ever so slightest effort the horn responds.\"
Another 22B Special owner says this about the instrument: \"The horn responds very well, especially in the lower registers. What Ithought was
really unusual, was the intonation of the horn: the low D which is typically sharp was dead on, no lipping necessary. The C# didneed to be adjusted,
but not that much. Overall intonation is awesome! It slots particularly well; nice centered rich sound. As I got intothe upper registers, above high c,
I could play higher a lot easier due to the smaller bore etc \"
Full link thanks C for the use of the site. GREAT SITE refinish job on the brass is very professional. Look at the engraving.
NICE. It goes to the top past the 1st valve.
I can feel logo very well under finger tips.
The nickel was redone also.
The NY Symphony Special logo on the lead pipe is visible. ( SEE PIC 4 )
SOME SAY THEY HAVE SPECIALS THAT DON\'T HAVE THE LOGO.
THIS ONE IS VERIFIED WITH LOGO PRESENT !!!
ALSO I HAVE SEEN Specials that you couldn\'t even read the NYS Special logo etc
BECAUSE IT WAS BUFFED OUT SO BAD !
She is a clean machine !!!!!
I have owned and sold 2 of these before.
Both great players
One I bare brassed that was in decent shape sold for 775.00
One was bumped up pretty good Orig lac looked terrible !
I sold that one for 800.00
This one is the finest one I have ever had my hands on.
Again I stand by my buyers. You have 14 days to play , check, inspect her !!!
I think the horn is a Rare beauty !!
Overall this is a real piece of history. Please serious buyers only. I tried to
the very best of my ability to describe honestly the condition of this item.
Istrive to be top seller and wish to remain that way. My standing is important to
me. So please look carefully at the pics and if you need to ask me anything

interesting Conns and a other brands. From the era 1900-to early1960\'swhen they built em

I will ship this and pack her up really well. The shipping charge of
35 bucks will include insurance
