THERE IS SOME WEAR ON THE USUAL TOUCH AREAS BUT NOT MUCH, NONE REALLY ON ANY PART OF THE ENGARVING WHICH GOES TO THE TOP PAST THE 1ST VALVE. DO A SEARCH ON THEM THEY WERE SPECIALLY GIFTED ARTISTS. THEY WORKED AT CONN FOR THEIR LIFE TIMES. PERHAPS THE GREATEST ENGRAVERS OF ALL TIME. I CHECKED THE TUNING AGANST AN OLDS MENDAZ TRUMPET.Ģ THIS ENGRAVING IS AN OBVIOUS STENBERG ENGRAVING DONE BY DOC OR JULIUOS STENBERG. THE ONE I HAVE PLAYS IN 'Bb' LP AND 'A' LP BY TURNING THE ROTARY VALVE FROM 'Bb' LOW PITCH TO 'A' LOW PITCH.
EVEN CONN LOYALIST HAS THAT THEY PLAY IN HI AND LO PITCH. THERE ARE NO EXAMPLES I FOUND IN GOLD PLATE. CONN LOYALIST STATES:3B#1½ Bore New Wonder - High & Low Pitch with Rotary Valve1916-? EVEN THE CONN LOYALIST IS NOT SURE OF THE STOP DATE ON THESE.
VERY GOOD COMPRESSION.ġ THESE WERE MADE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. VERY RARE CONN TRUMPET SERIAL NUMBER 1650XXġ918 POST WWI 3B NEW WONDER ALL BURNISHED GOLD PLATED AMAZINGLY DETAILED STENBERG ENGRAVING. OFFERD HERE FOR PLAYER OR COLLECTOR OR BOTH.
