1965 Vintage COPPER🎺 CONN 17B Coprion Trumpet, Case, Conn 4 Mouthpiece

Description

Looking for a horn that can deliver a darker sound? You found it! Conn 17B Coprion Trumpet Serial Number E75808 circa 1965
From the Conn Loyalist:
The instrument is a #1 Bore, has a 4 5/8" diameter bell. It also has some nickel trim, but this is limited to a section of the leadpipe. Valves are bottom spring.
What Conn said in 1962:
Completely New,
these Conn
Directors
offer new and greater heights of performance for the aspiring young musician. Even the untrained embouchure can easily play each note
right on the button
due to the remarkably centered response. Every minute detail has been specifically designed and created with the student in mind so that he may quickly progress to the best of his ability. The new Conn
Directors
are acoustically, mechanically, and musically superior...
without doubt the finest value in this price range!
Special features of the new Directors:
"Anti-Bounce", positive, quiet valves. Bell thickness graduated for finest tone. Newly calibrated bore for easier high register. Brilliant, longer lasting "Lustre-Conn" finish.
What Conn said in 1966:
Acclaimed by music educators throughout the country as the top value in student trumpets. Designed to allow the student to progress to the best of his natural ability. Easy playing, with precise intonation throughout all registers. Remarkably centered response and tonal brightness. Ruggedly built to stand up under the rigors of student use. 17B has Coprion bell for slightly darker, more centered tone. Medium bore feel. Length 21". Bell 4 5/8".
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.
