Authentic, century-old 1919 C.G. Conn 6E Mellophone in beautiful silver-plated finish with floral bell engraving. This classic Elkhart-era horn has been gently cleaned, polished, and freshly serviced with proper valve oil and slide grease, so everything moves smoothly as it should.

It comes as a remarkably complete set housed in its original purple velvet-lined hard case (case shows expected vintage wear on the exterior and leather handle, latches work).

Included in this set:

• 1919 C.G. Conn 6E Silver-Plated Mellophone (valves oiled, slides greased and moving freely)

• Three (3) interchangeable tuning crooks/slides (stored neatly in the upper lid straps)

• Two (2) silver-plated mouthpieces

• Original vintage lyre (sheet music holder)

• Original purple velvet-lined hard shell case with leather straps

Condition Notes:

For being over 100 years old, the silver plating and bell engraving look great. There is light, honest cosmetic wear consistent with a century of age (minor surface marks and light patina on the bell), but no major structural issues. All three piston valves move freely, and the tuning slides pull smoothly.
