Goodwill Vintage Conn

Post by Minkrott »

I am not interested in an Eb, but am posting for those who might be. This looks to be in nice shape. Ad says low pitch and 1927. I thought modern pitch was standardized by then. Is it playable at modern pitch, and what is it's value?

Over $550 now and ends tomorrow. Your prediction appears to be on track.

I had one of these. It was a nice little horn. Mine, like a lot of the older Ebs, played best with a small mouthpiece. Bigger mouthpieces exacerbate some of the Eb tuning issues, such as flat low D.
