Conn Director Cornet 14A 1957 with Conn Case and a Bach Mt Vernon 7C Mouthpiece Bore: .484 - Serial# 657***
The last year of the diagonal braced Director. All of these Large bore's sure play nice and this one was saved from the parts pile. It required a patch on the lead-pipe and the tuning slide was from another Director cornet. 75% lacquer, horn required bell work throughout, valves are very smooth as well as the slides being firm and smooth. The case is a bit worn, has a broken latch and broken latch springs. Case protects the horn and it comes with a Bach Mt Vernon 7C mouthpiece.
I am a collector and hobbyist technician that has just expanded into a local music store. The main focus for my collection is on vintage, less known and less appreciated cornets and trumpets as well as student models since many old student horns are really well built and play amazingly pro-like. Refurbishing and collecting original condition horns is my passion!
UpYourBrass is a single tolerance shop, all my instruments are refurbished and detailed. All horns go through a stringent bench test, are checked for loose solder joints and proper function. All easily accessible dents removed and repairs completed, valve chambers are scrubbed, hand lapped when needed and aligned... all horns are de-greased, chem cleaned, and hot water rinsed and scrubbed.
My office and shop are in different locations and I inspect and prep all horns prior to shipping so my ship time can take up to 3 days from purchase date, please look at all photos carefully before you buy. Thank You
