Hi,
I have a Conn double-bell baritone (both bells forward)ca. 1909.
It needs restoration and has three valves w/two off to the side.
Are there any pictures available of this model? It needs a leadpipe.
Thank you,
-L.

Sirs……
I own a double bell euphonium in excellent condition. It was puurchased in the 1920’s (I believe) by my father, and later by myself.
Does anyone know what the market and price for one might be today? (I have no real use for it)
Thanks

It looks like this horn has a gold wash bell. Is the body of the instrument also gold washed and then brushed?

Hello Michael,

First, let me say Gordon and I are pleased that you have joined us as a blogger on antiquehorns.com. Your interest and knowledge will be helpful in identifying and explaining to young collectors and advanced collectors alike the various aspects of this very interesting hobby.

Now, to your horn! You are one very lucky guy to have acquired this horn, and as the valve buttons prove, it is a real Jem! I had a chance several years back to acquire a run of the mill double bell baritone for a reasonable price and passed. I have been kicking myself for years now just thinking about it.

I would like to ask you to provide more information on this type of instrument which many younger collectors and musicians have never seen.

Again, thanks for your blog.
