QUICK SHIPPING!!!  Top choice for a trumpeter looking for the dark tone only copper bell can provide!

The Conn 17B USA made Bb trumpet is all original and hard to find for this age (1967) in this condition, comes with a Harmon wah-wah mute and a care kit that includes brushes, lube, valve oil, and a polishing cloth.

It’s not just about price….Buying on the internet can be risky, take time and read the sellers feedback so you can see what others have said and have confidence you are dealing with a reputable and long established seller.

From the Conn Loyalist


The instrument is a #1 Bore (0.438") and has a 4 5/8" diameter coprion bell. It also has some nickel trim, but this is limited to a section of the leadpipe. Valves are bottom spring.

What Conn said in 1962:
Completely New, these Conn Directors offer new and greater heights of performance for the aspiring young musician. Even the untrained embouchure can easily play each note right on the button due to the remarkably centered response. Every minute detail has been specifically designed and created with the student in mind so that he may quickly progress to the best of his ability. The new Conn Directors are acoustically, mechanically, and musically superior... without doubt the finest value in this price range!
Special features of the new Directors: "Anti-Bounce", positive, quiet valves. Bell thickness graduated for finest tone. Newly calibrated bore for easier high register. Brilliant, longer lasting "Lustre-Conn" finish.

What Conn said in 1966:
Acclaimed by music educators throughout the country as the top value in student trumpets. Designed to allow the student to progress to the best of his natural ability. Easy playing, with precise intonation throughout all registers. Remarkably centered response and tonal brightness. Ruggedly built to stand up under the rigors of student use. 17B has Coprion bell for slightly darker, more centered tone. 15B has brass bell. Medium bore feel. Length 21". Bell 4 5/8".

THIS INSTRUMENT IS SOLD AS-IS with no return, please look at all the pic's and ask questions before bidding or purchasing please.

Important!!! AS-IS Condition Vintage & Antique Instruments do not have a warranty and though they have been serviced, these vintage instruments can still have minor fit and performance issues after servicing. Vintage and antique horns need to be put back into service with your regular playing after purchase. Many vintage instruments have had solder and other repair work done in the past and many have sat for sometimes decades and even after thorough cleaning, more extended cleaning and fit work may be needed. These instruments I offer on Ebay are refurbished, played for a few minutes to check for performance and problems and then they are shelved until after the horn is purchased or play tested locally. I am not familiar with every horns performance characteristics, bore size or history, but I do learn every day and do my best to offer educated advice.
