This is a vintage (1941) C. G. Conn model 32H trombone and it is in excellent playable condition. There is minor finish wear, a few very small dings and light verdigri along the bead on the bell (see pics). The slide assembly is in excellent condition and the slide falls freely when held at a 45 degree angle. The socks show no finish wear. The bell measures 7 & 1/2 inches. The horn is marked 32H and with the serial number 341154. The bell is engraved with C. G. CONN LTD.U.S.A ELKHART-IND. A vintage case is included. The case is heavily worn but it is in serviceable condition. Also included is Conn 2 Precision mouthpiece that is period correct. The mouthpiece shows some finish wear (see pics) but the rim and face are smooth to the touch and it is in very nice serviceable condition.The following information is copied from the Conn Loyalist:The 32H was a "duo-bore" instrument, with a bore of 0.500" and 0.522", which in Conn terms is a #3 and (approximately) #3½ bore. It was produced from 1934 to 1958. This instrument was built before WW2.What Conn said in 1938:
These two [30H and 32H] new models were built especially for the theatre, dance, and other large organizations, where great power and volume are paramount. Designed by and named for "Jake" Burkle, dean of Conn experimental engineers, and considered by him to be two of the best he has ever built. Incorporate tapered bore throughout bell, tuning slide, bell taper, slides and hand slide bow. This design, together with new construction bell, produces great flexibility, plenty of bright tone of robust quality, just the right amount of resistance, exceptionally accurate intonation, and amazing ease of response. Every register is of same beautiful quality, the top register being unusually good. Players are surprised at the ease with which high F and the G above bass clef are obtained. Narrowest slides and longest slide bearing on outside slides of any Conn trombone, giving light, fast slide action. Slide lock, bell lock, standard bell 7 and 7½ inches. Bb. Price includes plush-lined case. Selected by such representative stars as Ernie Passoja, high note king, CBS, Chicago, formerly with Horace Heidt; "Mike" Martini, first trombone with Vincent Lopez; Frank Perry with Red Nichols' Orchestra; Harry Kite, first chair with Ace Brigode; Herbert Foll with Stan Myers, Guy Boswell of Cleveland Symphony; Vincent Grande, NBC, N. Y.; and Carroll Martin, great first chair, NBC, Chicago.The winning bidder is expected to pay, or make payment arrangements, within 48 hours, no exceptions please.International buyers, please note:Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
