Singin' the Blues Beiderbecke 1927
There is a good chance that in 1927 Bix Beiderbecke played this solo of Singing the Blues on his Conn Victor cornet. Many jazz musicians like Jimmy McPartland as well as Max Kaminsky ( see Max and his Conn with me in 1978) played that type of cornet as well.
I always had the Conn Victor on my wishlist. In 2001 I found a 1923 big bore cornet in mint condition. Serial number 206480, apparently that horn was manufactured in Elkhart, Ind.
Both Simon Stribling and I played the horn during the 2002 Victoria Jazz Festival.
Now I like to sell this beauty. I'm used to a medium bore instrument and my Bach Stradivarius short model cornet is most comfortable.
The horn is almost like new, No dents, no decay, valves are tight and not worn and the satin silver plating is 100%. The horn has a gold wash bell. During obvious restoration the 'automatic A adjuster' was removed and the horn was tuned to Bb.
At the time of purchase I learned that this horn was sold by a musician friend from a fellow euphonium player's estate, who had been a long time brass instruments collector. Apparently several of his horns were sold to a museum in the United Kingdom.
In this video you see some of the details on the (perfect) condition. If you are interested in a quality horn that is a collector's item as well and realize that this horn is certainly worth more than US$ 600 contact me.
Enjoy Bix's solo!
p.s I posted this clip last year and September 2007 I found a new owner for this beautiful horn. I actually gave it to Jerome Etcheberry from Paris France when he visited us in Canada . He is a very talented young cornetist and I wish him lots of success!,

Any idea why the 'mechanism' was removed when the horn was restored? I have a conn victor new wonder from 1918 (they say bix got his victor in 1919, wish it was his!) But any idea why they remove it, or just since A isn't a key you really need on these horns?
Thanks
