The Connstellation: A Legendary Powerhouse
The Connstellation 38B was Conn's top-of-the-line professional trumpet, and it was a bold statement in its time. While many of its contemporaries were designed for a brighter, more brilliant sound, the Connstellation was built for a huge, dark, and full-bodied tone. It is a true "player's horn" that offers a robust and uninhibited voice that is beloved by trumpet players in jazz, big band, and studio settings.
What makes the Connstellation a classic:
-
Massive, Dark Tone: The Connstellation's unique bore and bell design give it a powerful and resonant sound that is different from any other trumpet. It's a sound that is both bold and warm, with a rich core that is perfect for a player who wants to stand out.
-
Stunning Two-Tone Finish: The elegant silver plate is beautifully accented by the natural brass on the tuning slides. This two-tone finish is a classic vintage look that makes the horn as visually appealing as it is tonally.
-
Uncompromising Build: As a professional-grade horn from its era, the Connstellation was built to last. The keywork is solid, and the overall construction is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that made Conn famous.
This trumpet is a fantastic choice for a musician who wants a professional-level instrument with a unique voice and a deep connection to the history of brass making.
