Classic 1935 CONN 30H Burkle (Silver plating with Gold Wash Bell)
Price USD $650
* Price includes shipping to the Continental US</SIZE>
This is a well-preserved example of the classic Jake Burkle dual-bore design. For those Burkle fans out there, you know his instruments have remarkably large sound cores for small bore instruments.
BELL: 7 inches
SLIDE: “duo-bore” - .490/.507
• Some minor wear on one stocking (see pics). No problem: when clean and lubed, I would give it 8/10…YMMV.
CASE: Non-original; basic functional case included.
REASON FOR SALE: This is a great vintage horn for jazz/commercial/Latin/simile gigs. I just bought a new horn and have now exceeded the MTL (Marital Trombone Limit). :cool:
<I>What Conn said in 1938: </I>
These two [30H and 32H] new models were built especially for the theatre, dance, and other large organizations, where great power and volume are paramount. Designed by and named for "Jake" Burkle, dean of Conn experimental engineers, and considered by him to be two of the best he has ever built. Incorporate tapered bore throughout bell, tuning slide, bell taper, slides and hand slide bow. This design, together with new construction bell, produces great flexibility, plenty of bright tone of robust quality, just the right amount of resistance, exceptionally accurate intonation, and amazing ease of response. Every register is of same beautiful quality, the top register being unusually good. Players are surprised at the ease with which high F and the G above bass clef are obtained. Narrowest slides and longest slide bearing on outside slides of any Conn trombone, giving light, fast slide action. Slide lock, bell lock, standard bell 7 and 7½ inches. Bb
<B>What Conn said in 1950: </B>
The Burkle models are popular in in large organizations where great power and volume are paramount. Have [sic] unique tapered bore through bell, tuning slide, bell taper, hand slides and hand slide bow. This design produces big tone, accurate intonation and ease of response, especially in top register, making Burkles favorites of high note kings.
Narrow, light slides for fast execution. Two bore sizes: medium, 7-inch bell, 30H; large, 7½-inch bell, 32H. Both with long slide bearing for smooth 7th position, bell lock, slide lock, balancer, tuning in bell.

Though not really a "Ballroom" design (those had the bell closer to the player), the Conn 30H is great fun to play. Everything that Eric wrote is true. And the price is reasonable. May be "mouthpiece-sensitive."
