Can't help liking the name (not to mention a company with a sense of humor):

That's funny. Does Conn even have an "Artist" line?

Conn used the designation "artist" for their pro instruments at some point, I think the 40's and 50's.
I guess they never thought of it that way, but it is funny.

What, you think calling a bass trombonist an 'artist' is humourous?

Depends -- largemouth or smallmouth
bass? (now, a
perch trombonist, there's no question --
that's humorous!)

Could have been a
base trombonist... but then again,
all trombonists are
base!
(then again, it's difficult to trust anybody whose instrument changes shape while they play it!)

Assuming the winning bid came from the US, he/she got a really good deal, even if the mouthpiece was junk... only ten bucks and some change, counting shipping!
