Here is a beautiful 1965 Conn Constellation 36B Bb trumpet with it's original case. It has recently been checked out, cleaned and refurbished by a competent professional brass technician. It is in wonderful working order, compression is first rate, the valves are really silky smooth and fast, all the slides are great too. It plays like the legendary Connstellation should, go on line and check out all the reviews, there are hundreds out there!
Here is one from the Conn Loyalist site. . ''The came out in late 1959. It has a smaller bell and the 38B has sturdier bracing than the 36B. This can be seen by comparing the main tuning slide brace of the 38B pictured here with the 36B picture on its own page. Early models 36B, through at least 1962 don't have a trigger on the first slide. Later models 36B (at least 1966 and later) do have the trigger on first. Otherwise the 36B and the 38B are the same including the nickel plating. This makes it somewhat difficult to tell a later model 36B and a 38B apart. The quickest way to tell the difference is to compare the bracing. The other option is to measure the size of the bell.'' Freddie Hubbard played one of these, that should really tell you everything.
It is in nickel-plate with 98% of the famous hard wearing Conn lacquer still intact. There are some minimal signs of use, it was made in 1965 and obviously it can't be in 'like-new' condition but it is in fantastic condition for it's age and will provide the next person to use it, with another 30 - 40 years of faithful service. There is a case with it, the original case, which internally is sound and outside a bit scuffed from normal use. I can throw in a decent mouthpiece should you need one, ask me when you bid on this. By all means message me with any further questions and I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
