Silver and Brass Music Shop is a brick-and-mortar brass instrument restoration and repair shop located in Carson City, NV. Here is a 1949 Conn 2B “New World Symphony” trumpet (Serial Number 386618). The bore of the horn is medium at. 458 (Conn #1 1/2 bore). The bell is 4 5/8. Here is what Conn said at the time. The 2-B New World Symphony Model has been reinstated in the line by popular request. Ever since it was discontinued several years ago, there has been a constant clamor for it. Now the 2-B is back, but it has been modernized mechanically. It now has the famous Clickless Crysteel valves and an improved trigger on the first valve. It still has its wonderful one-piece bell, which is largely responsible for its great power and brilliance. It is still made in medium-large bore, which is the bore so many symphony men and dance men in the larger orchestras prefer. Great trumpeters everywhere will welcome back this great instrument, and those who did not know it in the old days will find a great thrill when they play it. Built in Bb and A. The 2B was discontinued in 1932, and was replaced by the Conn 8B Symphony Grand “Gustat”. In 1940 the 8B was then replaced by the 2B once again, but the new 2B was identical to the old 8B in almost every way. The most interesting design feature of these horns is the expanding air column through the valve cluster which Conn achieved by making the bore of valves two and three. 458, while the bore of valve 1 is in. In 1949 Conn combined the two models together to make the 28B Connstellation, and soon after the 2B “New World Symphony” was gone for good. This horn looks beautiful and plays very well. The valves have very good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of the horn, there are a few small dings and some light scratching throughout the horn. The bell engraving is in excellent shape, and t. He text of the engraving reads “C G Conn Ltd/ USA/ Elkhart-IND”. All this is visible in the pictures, and none of it affects the playability of the horn. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop and repaired to full playability. His horn is not lacquered; therefore fingerprints should be wiped off after use if the player wishes for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now–if they are not wiped off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This trumpet comes with a somewhat worn case and a mouthpiece in good condition. All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop.
