We keep a large stock of the ever-popular Conn 88H trombones in various configurations
Conn Trombones are widely regarded as some of the best in the world.
C.G.
Conn started making mouthpieces in 1873 and in 1875 produced his first
cornet, probably the first to be made in America. In 1880 Conn was
elected Mayor of Elkhart, Indiana which is where Conn trombones are
still made today. At this time he was making a larger variety of
instruments and developed an interest in the unusual. In 1907
he built an immensaphone, the largest horn in the world at 12 feet
in diameter and 35 feet long.
Other
firsts included the first American saxophone and the sousaphone which
was built to the specifications of John Philip Sousa.
C.G Conn retired in 1915 but the company lives on.
