“B” tells you it’s a trumpet. The Conn loyalists will have all the info you need. Value is in the hand of the buyer _________________ a few different ones |

The Conn Loyalist site could help you there. To me it looks like a 38B like you said. Or 36B but I doubt it. The value depends on it's playability and over all condition. How are the valves? _________________ Sima, Kanstul 1525 Flugel and Kanstul pocket trumpet. Olds Super |

Yes, according to that webpage, it is a 1956 Conn Connstellation 38B.
Valves and slides are excellent. Compression also seems excellent (like the horn didn't go through abundance of use nor abuse). Seems to blow well. I haven't played any other Conns in years, so I wouldn't be able to compare in that way. I know it has had the water key pads replaced and been serviced within the past year (chem-cleaned, et al). Just sitting in a friend's closet. Needs to be sold. Trying to give him an idea on what it might yield on the market...either eBay or TH. Maybe we should just start at $50K and go from there... |

I think it's worthless so you should donate it to me
Somewhere between 50k and $50? But $850 street value, meaning it should result in an actual sale. |

This one is probably not worth more than $750.00. For reference purposes my collection includes a 1956 38B that is in virtually new condition (no finish wear whatsoever) and I paid $1,000.00 for it, which I thought was very fair considering its pristine condition. In terms of finish condition, neither your horn, the ebay 1956 horn I referred to or this ebay 1962 horn is even close to the finish condition of the horn in my collection and the mechanics/valves of my horn are excellent. Just FYI. _________________ HERMOKIWI |

Agreed. I still have the 1961 38B my parents bought for me to start HS. Still mint cond.; many decades here and there on the shelf and even has a recent Andersons NiAg valve replating. $1000 is fair. $2400 would have to be NIB barn find ... _________________ Been here before...
