1914 Conn Monster EEb 4 valve top - price drop

Post by Frank Ortega »

Hello Everyone,

Just checking the waters to see if anyone wants one of these. A Vintage 1914 Conn Monster EEb 4 valve top.

I bought it with the intention of using just the bell, but it plays better then I imagined it would.

Intonation is a bit squirrely, but the sound is magnificent! For some people, the trade off is worth it!

$1650.00 +S&H OBO.

Here are some links to pictures:

I have a great 26k sousaphone that I’m looking to trade for something like that, but I doubt you’d be interested in a trade.

Hi,
I'm interested in the horn if you can provide some better pictures. I've also sent a PM with more detailed contact information. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks

Here are a couple of more photos, not great, but there are more!

A student of mine has it and I'm getting it back tonight, so I can take some better ones tomorrow.
