Silver and Brass Music Shop is a brick-and-mortar brass instrument restoration and repair shop located in Carson City, NV. Here is a 1923 (serial number 204161) Conn 22B “New York Symphony” trumpet. This horn has valve casings made from solid copper, which was only done for a few years during the 1920. The bore of the horn is medium at. 438 (Conn #1 bore). The bell is 4 1/2. Here is what Conn said in their catalogs at the time. When this trumpet was first designed and manufactured it took the trumpet world off its feet. Just let one of these trumpets get into the trumpet section of an orchestra or band and the whole section would adopt it. When soloists played it people marveled at its pure trumpet tone. Through a constant process of refinement, this trumpet today is the most popular in the world. Its only rival is the New World Symphony trumpet. The success of this superb instrument is due to the fact that it filled an urgent need. Previously the foreign trumpet had been chosen by big artists because of its peculiarly fine trumpet tone. However, these foreign trumpets were so faulty in intonation that users wore themselves out trying to “humor” them and “lip” them into tune. Moreover, they were extremely hard to blow. When the New York Symphony trumpet was put on the market, possessing not only a matchless trumpet tone but also perfect intonation and extreme ease of blowing, it is no wonder it became widely heralded practically over night. Only the famous Conn hydraulic expansion process [described and explained on pages 8 and 9], made this fine trumpet possible. Trumpets look pretty much alike on the outside – it’s the inside surface which determines the worth of an instrument. Tone waves are very delicate and become distorted and choked whenever the inside surface of the trumpet is wrinkled or wavy, as was true in the foreign trumpets and is true today in inferior makes. The hydraulic expansion process insures a glassy-smooth inside surface, the perfect surface for carrying tone waves. Only Conn trumpets are made by this process and only Conn’s possess the perfect inside surface for carrying the tone waves. Made in a small bore, the New York Symphony trumpet has a very bright, crystal pure tone. It is brilliant without being “squealy” or “squeaky”; it has great penetrating power without being blatant; it will play pianissimo without faltering or losing its trumpet color; it will play fortissimo without cracking or becoming harsh; it responds with the slightest breath and can be played vigorously all evening without exhaustion. The unparalleled favorite in theater orchestras, dance orchestras, the smaller symphonies and concert bands, and for solo playing. This horn looks beautiful and plays very well. The valves have good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of the horn, t. Here are a few small dings and pings as well as some areas of light pitting and light scratching. There are a few small reinforcing patches on the knuckles of the horn – on the second valve knuckles, and the knuckle where the main tuning slide enters the third valve. There is also one small solder repair on the leadpipe. The bell engraving reads: MADE BY/ C. 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.
