1930 Conn New Wonder Cornet - Great for switching between trumpet and cornet

This is a cornet from C.G. Conn, a major American musical instrument manufacturer.

The New Wonder series appeared in the 1920s and became widely used by both professional and amateur musicians, particularly for saxophones and cornets. During this period, Conn was known as the world's largest wind instrument manufacturer, contributing significantly to the development of jazz and classical music while continuing to innovate in design and manufacturing technology.

This is a cornet that was also used by the legendary cornet virtuoso Bix Beiderbecke, and it represents a new system of instruments that took the world by storm at the time.

It features a quick-change system that is very convenient for orchestral use, and as shown in the photos, it can also be used as an A cornet by extending the tuning slide.
Fine-tuning is possible with the opera glass micro-tuner mechanism.

It boasts a luxurious construction with beautiful engraving and a gold-plated bell interior.

The airtightness is excellent (◎). The condition is miraculous for an instrument of this era.
