Here we have a classic Conn Victor 6A Long model cornet. This instrument has been well played and does present signs of use but still has tons of life left in it! There is a fair amount of lacquer and plate loss through the horn as well as various minor dents and pings around the body of the instrument. The leadpipe is also bowed down slightly (see pictures for details). The valve compression on this horn is good but would benefit from a thicker valve oil, we recommend berp bio oil #3, and the slides all move freely.
From Conn Loyalist:
"The 6A Victor is the long cornet version of the 6B Victor trumpet. This means that the mouthpiece receiver is built for a cornet mouthpiece and not a trumpet mouthpiece, and the internal bore is a bit different: the leadpipe is just an outer cover, hiding an inner leadpipe that tapers differently than it does on a trumpet. The "early" version has a fixed 3rd slide finger ring, bottom spring valves and is brass with nickel trim. The 6A has a #1 bore (0.438"). Production of the 6A started in 1956. The "early" model was produced through 1957."
Comes with no Case or mouthpiece
