Here is what Conn said in 1958:
"Choice of the artists among top players who require the extra range quality of the four valve euphonium. Famous short action valves contribute to the ease of playing. Hydraulic expansion, an exclusive Conn process, contributes to the advantages of Cali-Bore... Cali-Bore from tone chamber to bell flare protects the bore tapers and produces "big sound" required by discriminating band masters. Smooth, faster valves 1/3 shorter action, Crysteel pin-guide valve pistons, extra range, Lustre-Conn finish, interchangeable bell."
