CONN 1966 CONNSTELLATION 38B TRUMPET CHARLIE MELK WORKED ON THIS COMES W/ ORIG CASE COMPRESSION GREAT READY TO GIG.

1I WOULD HAVE TO STATE THAT THIS IS REALLY MINT -THE PARTY I RECEIVED IT FROM SAID CHARLIE MELK WORKED ON IT BUT ” THE VALVES DID NOT NEED REPLATING ” ACCORDING TO THE PARTY HE BOUGHT IT FROM. I THINK THIS IS PLAUSIBLE IT IS ADJUSTED VERY VERY WELL AND A REAL PLAYER !!

2 IT WAS REPLATED. NOT SURE WHO DID THE REPLATING BUT IT WAS REPLATED ALL OVER.
IT LOOKS QUOTE STUNNING…THE ONLY DRAG IS THE
ENGRAVING IS BUFFED OUT ESPECIALLY ON THE ” C. G. CONN L.T.D. ” , AND ON THE , ” ELKHART USA “… IT IS READABLE BUT OBVIOUSLY LACKS CLEARAITY. THE WORD CONNSTELLATION IS BETTER DEFINED.
ALSO I CAN NOT READ A “B” ON THE RECIEVER BUT I HAVE SOLD MANY OF THESE AND IT IS THE BIG BELL 5 1/8 INCH 38B ! NOT THE SMALLER BELL 36B…AND WHERE THE LEAD PIPE SECTION ENDS IS AT THE FINGER HOOK NOT AN INCH OR SO AFTER.  THAT WOULD BE THE LONG CORNET 28A.  THIS IS FOR SURE THE 38B.
SO IF ONE IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT BEING REPLATED IT IS A FANTASIC 38B BUY.  I AM DISCOUNTING IT TO REFLECT THIS ASPECT OF THE FINISH. THESE ARE SELLING NOW FOR A LOT MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO. I SAW ANOTHER 1966 VERY GOOD PLAYER , ORIGINAL OWNER , SELL FOR OVER 2000.00 BUCKS RECENTLY !!!! GRAB IT WHILE IT IS AT THIS PRICE PLUS I AM PAYING SHIPPING TO THE LOWER 48. ALSO I HAVE IT ON SALE IN MY AREA ETC.
I OFFER A NO HASSEL RETURN IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY…BUT READ AD WELL.
THE CASE IS REALLY HEAVY !! SEE BELOW MORE ON THE CASE.

3 NO FORMER REPAIRS I SEE. ALL BRACES LOOK GREAT.  NO DENTS I SEE.

4 THE TRIGGER IS ADJUSTED PERFECTLY AS WELL AS THE 3RD SLIDE TOTALLY SMOOTH !

5 NO SIDE PLAY AT ALL ON THE VALVES…VALVES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND VERY FAST. SEE VALVE PICS.

6 ALL SLIDES 1 AND 2 LOCKING NUTS ARE PRESENT AND ADJUSTED TO BE THE CORRECT THROW OUT AMOUNTS NEEED.  THE SLIDES AS WELL AS THE THROW OUT MECHS HAVE RUBBER SILENCERS. SO NO CLICKING ANNOYANCE. THAT IS FANTASTIC , THE EXTRA CARE TAKEN INTO MAKING THIS A CLASS ACT INSTRUMENT IS OBVIOUS.

7 ALL PEARLS ARE LOVELY.

8 THE CASE IS THE ORIGINAL CONNSTELATION CASE.  ON THE BACK OF THE CASE IT APPEARS THAT SOMEONE CUT A SQUARE SECTION FROM THE MATERIAL FOR WHAT PURPOSE I DO NOT KNOW. THE WOOD IS EXPOSED WHICH I AM GOING TO SEE IF I CAN FIND THE RIGHT COLOR TO PAINT THE WOOD. NOT SURE WHY ANYBODY WOULD DO THIS ????  THE CASE IS SOLID AND VERY VERY HEAVY. IF YOU REQUEST A PIC I CAN SEND YOU ONE ETC. OVERALL THE CASE IS A STEADY GRADE B IN MY BOOK. NICE CONNSTELLATION LOGOS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CASE AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE.

PS I ALSO JUST LISTED FOR YOU LABLANC FANS AN ALMOST MINT 1957 PARIS DYNAMIQUE TRUMPET MODEL SIMPLY LOVELY AND A GREAT PLAYER.
