FWIW, that retrofitted Conn 28J is mine. I'd much rather keep it, but I need the dough. Feel free to inquire if you have any questions.

What do you get when you cross a piccolo and a clarinet?
An earache.
What's the difference between a clarinet and a mouse?
You can't hear a mouse squeak over the entire band!
oops, wrong thread

Kind of a personal question, but ----
24 inches, give or take.

What was retrofitted was the valve section. This horn originally came only with 3 valves. Someone somewhere put a new valve section on the horn, adding a 4th valve. How do I know this? The valve tubing is gold brass, the bugle is silver brass.
Whuhappened?

Yesterday someone who called himself/herself "guitarrepairman" sent me a very weird email asking for a reply, saying that another posted item looked just like mine. Then I got a note from EBay telling me I had received a weird email and that they were investigating.
So today I get a notice that they are ending my auction "as [the item] appear[s] to have been listed by a third party without your authorization."
I'm confused, inasmuch as I had submitted and paid for my posting, and was never able to locate any other. But anyway, the horn has not been bought, and I still have it. So if you are interested in buying, let me know.

Bumping because it is posted for another 3 days. Lots of looks this time, but no bids yet.

EBay closed for the second time without a bid over my reserve. I guess I'll hang on to it a while longer, or maybe run an ad on Tubenet.
