Wednesday night I took this 1952 Conn 34j to a community band rehearsal. That thing was a lot of fun! Loads of dark, dark sound (must be the dark patina on the bell. :laugh:

Big and heavy to be sure but it definitely was fun.

It was made before short action valves became a thing but my fingers somehow managed.

Do I see gold lacquer remnants? Do you have your supply of rattle-can gold ready to finish the job? :teeth:

I have always preferred the intonation characteristics of the regular valves compared to short-action valves.
