    From Conn Loyalist
    The 1957 catalog says the 6B weighs 2 lbs 13 oz., however the later model 6B is definitely quite a bit less heavy than the Connstellation. Possibly the switch from bottom to top spring valves (thereby using less metal in the valve) lightened the instrument. It is also possible that as the 1960's wore on, Conn was forced to reduce cost and did this in part by using somewhat thinner metal thereby lightening the instrument. This would mean that the actual weight of the 6B "drops" at some model year(s). The "late" 6B Victor was produced from 1958 to at least 1983.
    How to tell a 6A Victor long cornet and a 6B Victor trumpet apart? The differences are quite subtle, but you should be able to tell if you know what you are looking for. All models for which there is both a long cornet and a trumpet (6A/6B, 10A/10B, 28A/38B) have a
    letter "A" or "B"
    stamped on the mouthpiece receiver. An "A" indicates a cornet leadpipe, a "B" indicates a trumpet leadpipe. The second way is to look at where the leadpipe widens out to accomodate the main tuning slide. On a trumpet this happens directly after the leadpipe finger hook, on a long cornet about an inch further down the leadpipe from the fingerhook. See Picture.
    What Conn said in 1959:
    Designed with new modern acoustical precision, this trumpet is another Conn "new tone advance" model. Victor has challenged them all for half a century and this is another proud victor model that sets high in professional performance. These features make a winning trumpet:
    Cali-Bore, clickeless Crysteel valves with exclusive pin guide, brilliant trumpet tone seamless tone chamber.
    Also available: Lustrous satin silver plated finish with bright gold bell.
    What Conn said in 1966:
    Vibrant and live sounding. Excellent for solo as well as ensemble work.
    It’s not just about price….Buying on the internet can be risky, take time and read the sellers feedback so you can see what others have said and have confidence you are dealing with a reputable and long established seller.
    Why buy a REFURBISHED Instrument on EBAY?
    Do you want to deal with a dirty instrument with stuck or damaged slides or valves?  A "used" or "preowned" instrument may cost much more to get back to playing condition

    Important!!! AS-IS Condition Vintage & Antique Instruments
    do not have a warranty and though they have been serviced, these vintage instruments can still have minor fit and performance issues after servicing. Vintage and antique horns need to be put back into service with your regular playing after purchase. Many vintage instruments have had solder and other repair work done in the past and many have sat for sometimes decades and even after thorough cleaning, more extended cleaning and fit work may be needed. These instruments I offer on Ebay are refurbished, played for a few minutes to check for performance and problems and then they are shelved until after the horn is purchased or play tested locally. I am not familiar with every horns performance characteristics, bore size or history, but I do learn every day and do my best to offer educated advice.
