For more information about our business, please feel free to visit our Ebay Profile at http://www.ebay.com/usr/silver_brass_music Here is a 1931 Conn 2B "New World Symphony" trumpet (serial number 281163). This was the top-of-the-line trumpet built by Conn at the time. It was built as an updated version of the 22B "New York Symphony", having a larger bore and a wider, more open feeling wrap. Here is what Conn said in their catalog at the time: "New World Symphony 2-B Trumpet Destined to Become Most Popular Trumpet in the World". Flexibility of scale never before attained in any other trumpet, a superb "trumpet tone" without one blatant crack or trace of "squeel" from low F to the top of the scale, rich and solid in fortissimo and zephyr-like in pianissimo, faultless intonation throughout the complete range! "Most perfect trumpet the world has ever seen" is the way some of the most celebrated symphony and concert artists have characterized our new 2-B trumpet. This horn is in good playing condition. The bore of the horn is .458" (Conn #1 1/2 bore). The bell is 4 5/8". As for the aesthetic condition of the horn, there are a some small dings as well as light pitting over much of the horn. The nuts on the stop rods have been replaced, and there is a reinforcing patch on the underside of the bell where the player’s finger rests. This horn has a Stenberg engraving of flowers and a water mill, but unfortunately the instrument was restored back in the 1970s, and the engraving was damaged so it is not very crisp. The bell flare is slightly wavy. The serial number on the valve casings is worn and difficult to read, but the valves are also stamped with the serial number. The leadpipe has “2 B” stamped beneath the mouthpiece receiver. The bell engraving reads: “Made By / C. G. Conn LTD. / Elkhart IND.-USA”. All this is visible in the pictures. …
