Nice price on an old Conn in Houston

[daktx2]

It has 4 valves, and includes what looks like an original recording bell and a silver, non original upright recording bell. A nice deal for 800 bucks!

[Tubajug]

Holy buckets, that's a killer deal! Looks like it's in great shape too!

33 lbs? Yikes... that makes my Willson seem light!

I'm freaking out right now. That is so awesome.
Somebody will be getting the deal of the century on an absurdly rare horn.
I want it.

[groovlow]

Round trip for me 26 hours 1700miles errr I want to get it.
Too much travel investment to risk the trip...
if the deal goes south ...eerrrrrrgh

[CTAYLOR]

Sold. Just asked the seller if I could come test play it and he said it was sold locally this morning.

[Kirley]

Ok, good. I'll stop looking at flights to Houston.
My wife will be happy. : )

The big brother to my 22J. Someone got the deal of a century. The 26j is extremely rare.

Not to mention it came with a Conn 1. Everybody knows about the Conn 3 ( euphonium) and Conn 2 funnel tuba mouthpiece. The Conn 1 was the giant deep funnel version of the Conn 2. Very rare mouthpiece. Very rare horn.
