Getting rid of my Conn Stable:

Offered here, the crown jewel of my Conn situation, the Conn 42H (also known as the Ballroom model), a horn that Conn manufactured only between 1925-1930, in mint condition. Satin gold+engraved gold finish, 0.522 bore, tuning in the slide configuration , slide action is easily a 9.5/10 dry! Comes with original case (in great condition), original gold plated mouthpiece (the model=Conn-Trombone)+the original cleaning rod (also gold plated <EMOJI seq="1f923" tseq="1f923">🤣</EMOJI>). Described as one of the most free—blowing trombone models ever made, they don’t come much prettier than this…get yo trad on!

$3000 shipped to the Continental US.

Questions/offers, send a PM/email.

Treat yo self!

Thanks for looking,

I've always considered this model to be the ultimate design. They come up for sale every couple of years, usually out of my league. Absolutely beautiful horn. Best of luck with it!

This is a beautiful trombone. From the days of creative corporate innovation – nearly 100 years ago!

I wish I could afford to give this instrument a blow! :pant:

**Price drop to $2700 shipped for the next 24 hours**

(Thursday 10/27/ through Friday 10/28)

A steal for this GEM.

Timing is everything, I have a couple of purchases I’d like to fund with this sale, so get it while it’s hot!

This thing is MINT. The tiny leather belt straps that secure the horn in the case are perfectly intact. Truly bananas. Wish I was a Conn guy, but I’m not. This needs a good home.

I’m def gonna start calling my horn collection my “trombone situation” from now on :D

That’s a really beautiful instrument; I bet it plays great, and good luck with the sale!
