Conn Coprion 18B Trumpet 1975 - Rare - Case And Conn 7C MP
Item History & Price
Conn Coprion 21B Trumpet 1975 - YamaConn - Nice Case and Conn 7C MP - Bore: .458 - Serial# GJ521***
Nice playing rare horn a Yamaha influenced Conn trumpet with Coprion Bell which was only manufactured for a couple years as the bell's were for to expensive to include on student model instruments any longer. This is the last version of the Coprion Director trumpets. Horn has 85% lacquer, scratches and scuffs, with smooth valve action, nice 3rd slide and excellent comp...ression. I did some bell flair and tail work and solder work on the 3rd slide housing and brace. Case is solid with good latches and hinges, comes with an original Conn 7C mouthpiece.
I am a collector and hobbyist technician that is currently expanding. My main focus is on vintage, less known and less appreciated cornets and trumpets as well as student models. Full restores are offered on occasion, I specialize in refurbishing and collecting original condition horns.
THIS INSTRUMENT IS SOLD AS-IS with no return, please look at all the pic's and ask questions before bidding or purchasing please.
