Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Up for sale is a 1930 CG Conn 22B Trumpet with Bb/A Change Valve Serial #240310 – Approximate 1930 Production Made in Elkhart, IN We are selling this in used as is condition. For being almost 100 years old this trumpet is in remarkable condition and its ready to play. Our shop has removed some dents and has all the slides free and working. The internal tubing was ultrasonically cleaned and the exterior was polished so it’s ready to play! This has the original factory plating with minimal wear. The body is satin silver with the area around the engraving polished bright silver. The slides are polished bright silver and the inside of the bell is a gold washed plating. There are 2 main tuning slides. The standard slide is not original and looks more like nickel plating. We had this play tested and it actually plays better with this slide than the original optional Bb/A slide. This vintage production was built with no factory finger hook. We asked Steve Hubbard who is a friend, professional player and repair technician about this and here are his comments: “The Bb standard slide always played better on these. They have less resistance that the little rotor-valve set-up on the quick-change slide. The quick-change was usually for Bb/A. That was normal. At one time, “A” trumpet was often used in opera accompaniment scores, as well as some solos. The quick-change valve made it convenient to have two-horns-in-one, for rapid changes in transposition”.

Our research cannot confirm this but one past ebay auction said their suspicion is that a star indicates a gold brass bell (higher copper content). You can’t believe everything you read so do your own research. This includes a New Eastman plastic case. No mouthpiece Check out our additional items located in our ebay store!
