Really good price on a beautiful refurbished/reconditioned 14k :!:
My 'Ladyface' 14k is of similar vintage (1955), but isn't nearly as pretty as this one.

^ It refers to the etched 'ladyface' on the bell. Many vintage Conn instruments had that etching.

Sold. A dad drove a couple of hours with his son to buy it for him. They play in banda group in southern Minnesota. Nice that it will be used by another generation.
