Trumpet 26A Director C.G.Conn 1930-1940 Elkhart/Indiana/USA art-deco engraving on the bell What Conn said in 1937: The 26A was developed to meet the demand for a more typical cornet - short in length, compact in design and having a more characteristic "cornet" tone. The bore is large with a large throat bell, giving it "genuine" cornet tone - round, full, sonorous and mellow. Special attention has been given to the comfort of holding. This feature, always a problem on short model cornets, has been taken care of by allowing a good hand grip on the valves below the mouthpipe and bell. Patented tuning wheel similar to the one made famous on the Victor. Built in Bb and A, Clickless Crysteel valves.

Both of these models are tremendously popular because of the great power available with so little effort and because of the richly brilliant tone. The trumpet is in medium bore, Bb and A. Equipped with famous Clickless Crysteel valves. These quieter, long wearing valves are patented and exclusive on Conn.
