Conn cornet from 1949 with micro-tuning system
This Conn Cornet 80 A is a used cornet from 1949, finished in gold lacquer. A notable feature of this model is the micro-tuning system, also called the “opera glass,” a detail that gives the Conn 80A a recognizable place among older Conn brass instruments.
Conn built the 80A from 1932 to 1971. This instrument carries serial number 387737 and has a duo bore of .468 + .484 (#2 + #2 ½), a specification that matters if you are specifically looking for a certain type of vintage cornet.
Used cornet professionally checked
On this second-hand cornet, the slides and valves have been made to run smoothly and the instrument has been cleaned internally. Felts, corks and springs have also been checked and replaced where needed, so you are looking at a used instrument that has been carefully prepared technically.
If you are looking for a Conn cornet with historical appeal and a specific construction system from the mid-twentieth century, this 80 A is an interesting model to inspect and try in the Magna Music store, where you can also get personal advice from brass specialists.
