Hey everybody,

I have a couple of Conn trombones, one Conn 88h has a serial next to the "88h" engraving GL87XXXX

On the outer slide the serial is L7XXXX ( same number, but the G and the first digit is missing).

Does anybody know what this is about ?

Are these horns rather from 1968 ( L...)

Or 1973 ? ( Usually GAXXXXXX) ?

The engraving simply says "Artist Symphony". No fancy stuff.

Redbrass version.

Any help is appreciated. I have a 48h and 6h with the same thing.

G=1970-1979

L= december

8= 1978

7= slide trombone

G=1970-1979

L= december

8= 1978

7= slide trombone

The thing I like about these codes is that they're so obvious to interpret!
