C.G. Conn "New Wonder" Cornet With Bb/A Quick-Change Mechanism Circa 1916! | Show & Tell

This video was filmed way back in May of 2025 when I sold this horn on my eBay, but hopefully still serves as an enjoyable and educational look at a very unique and historically significant Conn cornet! ~FURTHER READING FROM THE CONN LOYALIST (not affiliated)~ Conn 38A Victor: https://www.theconnloyalist.com/Conn3... Conn "80A Victor" (but really New Wonder): https://www.theconnloyalist.com/Conn8... Conn 80A Victor (later edition): https://www.theconnloyalist.com/Conn8... To the best of my CURRENT understanding, the New Wonder in this video is more of a 38A cousin than an 80A cousin due to the 1-1/2 bore (0.458"), as opposed to the 80A's 2 bore (0.484"). At the time of filming, I was not even aware of the 38A Victor. ~SUPPORT SPB VIA MONTHLY OR ONE-TIME DONATION~   / samuelplaysbrass   https://ko-fi.com/samuelplaysbrass Merch Store!! https://samuelplaysbrass.dashery.com/ Your generosity is greatly appreciated!! :) ~USED BRASS INSTRUMENTS/MOUTHPIECES FOR SALE~ https://www.ebay.com/usr/samuelplaysb... https://reverb.com/shop/sams-gear-emp... ~EQUIPMENT~ C.G.
