Second Hand Conn Director Coprion Bell Trombone in good condition. There is some light lacquer wear in the usual places and some light scratches and small dents to the bell but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance of the instrument. Included is a Besson 8 mouthpiece. Comes supplied in a woodshell case that has some wear and tear but still does the job.

About C.G Conn

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.
