The serial # dates it to 1967, so it was made in the magical Elkhart factory in Indiana. Original everything, including the finish, so it has the usual nickel wear that these horns get over time, and some around the finger placement. Would recommend not refinishing. It sounds amazing as is. Horn has good compression and extremely quick valves. All slides work and move well. Tested and used for my big band work. An amazing all around horn. Honestly, having a hard time letting go of it. Comes with original case, Conn 4 mouthpiece and Conn lyre of the era. If you’re looking for this horn you probably already know, but the Coprion lead pipe means no red rot ever. Thank you for reading. Here’s more information from the Conn Loyalist. The Connstellation 38B is nickel plated with brass trim and has a large 5 1/8 bell. It has a #1 bore (0.438), and was produced from 1956 to at least 1979. What Conn said in 1966. Here is the large bore feel that top artists prefer. Produces six to 12 decibels more sound for the same player effort. The finest of mechanical superiority. Electro-D bell and mouthpipe.
