Conn 28H Connstellation SN 398414, Made in Elkhart, IN 1952. Jazzer all the way. Has 7.5" Brass Bell with dual bore hand slide. Is similar in size to a King 2B. The dark color of the bell is a combination of age, then lacquer over. It is not coming off easily. The yellow brass tuning slide had quite a few deep dents, the type that don't look good when repaired, and not easy to repair either. We did our best and our guru made a brass tuning slide guard, soldered on, unlacquerd. Now it plays proper. The handslide is very quick and super straight tubes. It plays easily. Would be a great option for any serious player looking for a unique vintage jazz trombone. It is not likely that you will encounter other players with this exact model because not many of them were made between 1949-1953. This one survived and is ready to play again. Actually plays fantastic. It is not a super light bell. Plays very meaty, gorgeous sound out front. Includes a vintage 1960's Conn case, perfect fit.
