CG.CONN 38B Constellation

This is the CG.CONN 38B Connstellation, arguably the quintessential jazz horn.

This trumpet is one of the last units manufactured in 1970 at the CG.CONN Elkhart factory (s/n N46xxx). After that, ownership changed and the factory moved to Abilene, Texas. The materials and manufacturing process changed significantly, so you can consider this trumpet the final 38B Connstellation.

It underwent a complete overhaul at a musical instrument store about three months ago.
All valves operate smoothly.
All slides can be removed and inserted without sticking.
The airtightness of the valves and slides is good, with no issues.
There are no bends or deformations.

Considering its age, it is in remarkably beautiful condition. Please judge from the photos. There are polishing scratches, but no deep scratches or dents. Please forgive any oversights. As it is over 50 years old, there is some lacquer peeling on the tuning slide and the first trigger lever, which are frequently touched. There is plating corrosion at the joint between the mouthpiece receiver and the lead pipe. There is other age-related deterioration, but nothing that will affect playability.

This trumpet is being sold to fund the creation of an original trumpet.
Thank you for your consideration.
