Description: Industry Renowned Highly Sought AfterVintage 1952 Conn 22B Trumpet - New York Symphony ModelThe Conn has the nice, art deco lines from the bell flare up to the valve block.Mother of pearl finger buttonsThe Conn 22B is noticeably heavier than inferior lighter weight horns. The brass is of high quality (it's one of the better looking brass horns out there). The Conn's top and bottom caps put the others to shame; a very nice, deep gold-looking brass: The difference between the 22B and other pieces is simply striking. The 22B top caps are heavier than most pieces, contributing to the solid feel of the horn. The tone of the 22B is very strong and quite focused.This model of the 22B may have been the horn Bud Herseth used when he won his seat with the Chicago Symphony. Hearing it played, one could imagine this horn projecting admirably in a great symphony hall.the Conn is known to have superior valve quality.The 22B is listed as a .438 boreThe Conn is indeed a laser in the upper register.The lower range is clear and powerful; a well made horn; very impressive.What Conn said: its great penetrating power without trace of blatancy, its pianissimo without loss of genuine trumpet color, its fortissimo without cracking and its easy response. New CLICKLESS valves and restyled in the modern manner. Small bore, built in Bb and A, springs are in bottom of the valves. One of the most famous trumpets of all time the 22B in medium small bore. The 22B has a remarkable “singing” tone, brilliant and cutting but always sweet and full. Both in Bb and A.Serial # 411571 New York Symphony Model 22B by Conn Elkhart Ind.
