Conn Connstellation 28A long cornet

Frist year of production!

serial #543835 (1955 !) 

What Conn said in 1957:
Here's the "cornet of tomorrow"... the world's first cornet that looks like a trumpet! And, it has the most consistently good scale of any cornet ever made. Features scientific CALI-BORE (tone chamber calibration); non-corroding, acoustically correct mouthpipe with MICRO-FINISH on the inside; seamless ELECTRO-D bell; lightning fast, quiet top spring, pin suspension, clickless crysteel valves with precision-lapped slides for instant, accurate adjustment while playing and Nylon piston guide which reduces valve noise to a minimum at the same time adding longer life as compared to former metal guide. Trigger mechanism on first valve, easily operated because of the precision-lapped slides, gives player added flexibility in both high and low ranges. Length 21 3/8", weight 2 lbs. 12 oz. bell diameter 5 1/8". Outfit includes beautiful Connstellation case. Highly polished nickel plated finish with brass trim, protected by longer lasting, acid resistant LUSTRE-CONN finish.
