Silver and Brass Music Shop is a brick-and-mortar brass instrument restoration and repair shop located in Carson City, NV. 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 players 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 polished too much 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. All this is visible in the pictures. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop and repaired to full playability. This trumpet comes with a mouthpiece in good condition and a new lightweight case. All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop. The item “1931 Conn 2B New World Symphony (Stenberg Engraved) Trumpet withCase, Mpc” is in sale since Wednesday, September 18, 2019.
