Conn 40H Ball-room model

Conn 40H Ball-room model in immaculate condition. The slide and silver are both in amazing shape with smooth slide action. The horn has a unique sound and sounds very different from behind the bell due to where the bell is placed. The horn comes with the original case.

What Conn said in 1931:
The Ballroom model was originally built for dance work and syncopating orchestras, but it proved to be such an excellent instrument, it is being used in a wide variety of engagements. Its .500 bore gives it broad, rich, magnificent tone, which has made it popular in larger orchestras. The bell is set back near the player so it is easy to reach for muting and wow-wow. Extra-long slide bearing prevents slides from sagging in lower positions. The tuning slide is in the slides, a feature preferred by many players. Slide lock, bell lock and balancer are conveniences much appreciated on this model. Built in Bb; bore is .500; 7" bell.
