Original Advertisements

Here are posters/catalogs advertising Conn horns in the 1970s, plus some other ephemera.

page from Conn brasswind catalog, 1971-2, courtesy Christine Derksen of the Conn Loyalist - this is an important catalog because it confirms that the YamaConn brass Director cornet is the 19A, copper is 21A, and shows that the 76A was at least marketed in the 1970s

Conn trombone ad, 1973

Conn 16A/B [16H on back] ad, ca. 1974 - while hard to read, it mentions the 16A, 16B, and 16H all had Coprion versions - 18A, 18B, 18H respectively - these late-model Coprion instruments are rare and ones not marked "Director" on the receiver are marked 16A or 16B
