Vintage Conn 22B Bb Trumpet – 1946/1947 “Late Model” in excellent playing condition. Finish is worn in a few places, a couple of minor dings, and no red rot around the water keys, with nothing that affects the playability of this trumpet. Features the “clickless” valves that were common in the Conns of the 1930s-1940s. Trumpet was recently serviced, and lubricated. Everything that is supposed to move does so freely. Water keys have been freshly recorked. Played it at band rehearsal a few weeks ago, it has a nice mellow sound that really opens up when you put the air to it. This was what the professionals played back in the day. When Bud Herseth joined the Chicago Symphony in 1948, he was playing a Conn 22B. Comes with the original case, an aluminum straight mute, and a Vincent Bach 7C mouthpiece.
