> What do the trumpets look like. Not the most imaginative name. It really is called the “Sixty-One B”. In 1967 Conn started to produce the 60B, and it lasted at least through 1972. The Conn 61B is essentially that same horn. It had a #1½ bore (0.458) and top spring valves. It was available in standard brass and with a “bright silver finish”. I have been contacted by a gentleman by the name of Bill Bracker who was an Inspection Supervisor for Conn at the time. He tells me the official name for the 60B was “Super Connstellation”. One of Conn’s clinicians at the time, the trumpet player Jerry Franks, was responsible for the design of the 60B and had the very first 60B prototype. The problem in production was easily fixed for the second production run. What Conn said in 1966: The most versatile, the finest trumpet ever created by Conn. Designed for the professional. Includes three sets of interchangeable finger tips. Completely new acoustical and mechanical design throughout. Ideal for studio, recording, solo or band work. The above was taken from the internet on a Conn 60B. THIS IS A CONN 61B. This Conn 61B trumpet is a rare find for any professional musician. With a bore size of. 458 and a brass body material, this instrument is perfect for those with expert experience levels. The valve type is a piston with 3 valves, and the finish material is nickel. The trumpet features a water key and finger hook, making it easy to play for extended periods without any discomfort. The leadpipe material is brass with a nickel plated valve material, and the bell material is also brass. This instrument is a standard type with a Bb key, and it was manufactured in the United States. It’s perfect for any trumpet player who wants to take their skills to the next level. No case or mouthpiece.
