I am selling this AS IS, no returns, exchanges or refunds so please bid accordingly. See pictures for details. Payment by money order or cashiers check only. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Danny, An Ebay Member sent me some very useful information that I would like to pass on to you below. Thanks Danny! "Two different internet sources (including Conn-Selmer) indicate this horn was made in 1940. It's a Burkle model. The Conn Loyalist website says the 30H was a "duo-bore" instrument, with a bore of 0.494" and 0.507". It was produced from 1934 to at least 1949. What Conn said in 1938: These two [30H and 32H] new models were built especially for the theatre, dance, and other large organizations, where great power and volume are paramount. Designed by and named for "Jake" Burkle, dean of Conn experimental engineers, and considered by him to be two of the best he has ever built. Incorporate tapered bore throughout bell, tuning slide, bell taper, slides and hand slide bow. This design, together with new construction bell, produces great flexibility, plenty of bright tone of robust quality, just the right amount of resistance, exceptionally accurate intonation, and amazing ease of response. Every register is of same beautiful quality, the top register being unusually good." > Place a Bid!
