Silver and Brass Music Shop is a brick-and-mortar brass instrument restoration and repair shop located in Carson City, NV. 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 Conn 36B "Connstellation" trumpet (serial number H56466). The bore of the horn is. 438" (Conn #1 bore). The bell is 4 1/2". The bell is not engraved; "B" is stamped on the mouthpiece receiver. Here is what Conn said at the time: "A little easier to fill and lighter to hold than the 38B. Provides a little more to "blow against" in the upper register. Lower register, though big and full, is slightly less resonant than the 38B. Length 21¾", bell 4 5/8". Polished nickel plate with brass trim." This horn looks very good; there are a few minuscule pings and nicks as well as some light scratching and light etching in a few isolated areas. There is some splitting in the nickel plate on the bell throat from stress. There is a small area on the first slide trigger where the nickel plate has worn off. The Clickless Crysteel valves have very good compression, show little wear and feel very mechanically sound, with no wiggle from side to side. The throw slides also function properly. The minor imperfections are visible in the pictures, and none of it affects the playability of the horn. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop. This horn is not lacquered; therefore fingerprints should be wiped off after use if the player wishes for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now--if they are not wiped off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This trumpet comes with a somewhat worn case and a mouthpiece in good condition. All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop 710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV89703(775) 691-9737
