Two conn euphoniums from the same seller. 1 3 valve with Constellation bell. 1 4 valve with regular bell. The bells are mixed up, right? There is no such Constellation with only 3 valves, right?

Sure looks that way. Sharp eyes. To my knowledge, no.jacobg wrote: The bells are mixed up, right? There is no such Constellation with only 3 valves, right?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Maybe, but I don't know if Conn made the bells any differently for the horns, anyway. The Connstellation bell "has a small patch soldered on to cover a crack in the bell. This would be a great instrument for some one looking for a nice playing Euphonium that cares about how their instrument sounds, not how it looks". The 4 valve was sold the way it was, with the good bell (which is why I assume they might have been swapped in the first place) and it wasn't like they were trying to hide it, so maybe better off just let things be.

Yes, the bells were switched. According to the seller, he swapped them to put the better bell on the 4v instrument.
