1937 Conn Connqueror "Voca Bell" 48B trumpet sn 316716

This is a 1937 Conn Connqueror 48B Bb trumpet in  good original condition. This model with the iconic rimless bell is more commonly known as the Vocabell model. The 48B Vocabell is shown to have been produced from 1938 to 1951, but as with other models of this era, some examples have been found to be a year early than the production records indicate.  so this is one of the first 48B trumpets made.

The trumpet has been cleaned and all slides operating smoothly.  Has some scratches and small nicks in various locations as well as some wear to the original plating as shown in the photos.  

Engraving is sharp and clear, especially the Pan engraving on the bell flare.

Valves have very good compression. 

Does not come with a case.

What Conn said: 

Newest of the Connquerors, built to meet the demand for a wider, shorter model, easier to mute and hold. Has larger bell, giving it broader tone quality. The greatest trumpet of a great family. Gives you more power with less effort.  Built in medium bore, Bb and A. patented Clickless Crysteel valves.
