Conn 80A
What Conn said about the "Victor" in 1927:
Victor cornets are setting the standard for the cornet world. Easy speaking, marvelously flexible, perfect in intonation and possessing unsurpassed beauty of tone. It is not strange they are being played by more world artists than any other cornet in the world. Now available in two bores - the 4A Small bore and the 80A Large bore. One of these two is the cornet you've been whishing you could sometime possess; it all depends upon what your engagement demands of you, which one you choose.
This Conn 80A is in immaculate gold plate and is a well preserved piece of brass history, complete with the slide adjustment mechanism which pulls out the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd valve slides when the main tuning slide is pulled out to A. This horn plays with a wonderful sound and response and the valves and slides are in incredible condition for how old the horn is. Complete with the original case, this horn is a well preserved gem.
