Old Brass Conn22K

Post by Bootjacker »

In high school in the early '60's, I played a Conn 20K. I noticed the other player's horn was brass and looked exactly like mine, but had "22K" stamped on either the receiver or the bell. His bell was to large for the 20K. I tried it after he graduated, but it took too much air. Both of these horns were probably made in the late '50's. Was it a .750 bore? All I find is that now a 22K is a fiberglass horn. Has my memory gone or is there someone out there who knows about this?
