Conn Serial Numbers Horn Parts
Serial Numbers There are numerous serial numbers lists for Holton instruments on the web today, so the list below I’m not confident on who to attribute this list to. However, if you have a dated receipt of a horn’s serial number, please contact us through the link in the header so we can add more detail to this serial number list. Stencil serial numbers starting with a P APPEAR to be +50,000 off on the Conn serial number chart for split bell key horns (i.e. A s/n P2xxx horn. According to a Conn s/n chart, 52,000 was made in 1919) and appears to be at least 200,000 off for LH bell key horns. Learn more about Holton and CG Conn french horns.

Conn 6d French Horn Serial Numbers
OK guys, now I need your opinion.Here's a link leading to a Dropbox flie. In the photos, please pay special attention to the branch that comes from 3rd slide and connects to the bell. As you can see, it's not straight at all...
Conn V1 flugelhorn (file://PC-DE-CLIENT/Users/client/Dropbox/Conn%20V1%20flugelhorn)
It doesn't give me the impression the horn has been bumped, shocked or whatever. Looks like the branch has been stessed to fit to the brace or something like that. There's some other finish details like the water keys soldering, the pin soldered on the bottom of 3rd slide to fit to the trigger, both are not well finished at all. I also foung a big dried drop of lacquer on a water key. All those issues appears to be very weird for an expensive made in USA horn.
I bought this horn on e-Bay at a very cheap price ( less than 1K in canadian $$ ). If you look at the last photo, you clearly see this horn is like new. Actually, all those issues don't affect the playability - IMO -....it plays very well, sound is warm and easy to produce ( finally I fixed my high notes issue...).
Your opinion is VERY welcome. Of course, the no valid warranty anymore...
Please tell me if the Dropbox link works, I'm not sure...
