Completely new acoustical and mechanical design throughout. Includes three sets of interchangeable finger tips. The most versatile, the finest trumpet ever created by Conn. The problem in production was easily fixed for the second production run.
Bracker tells me that the first production run of 60B's could not be sold as first line production they were sold as seconds. One of Conn's clinicians at the time, the trumpet player Jerry Franks, was responsible for the design of the 60B and had the very first 60B prototype. He tells me the official name for the 60B was "Super Connstellation". I have been contacted by a gentleman by the name of Bill Bracker who was an Inspection Supervisor for Conn at the time. I am told that the 60B was play tested for Conn by Buddy Childers and Gene Goe. It was available in standard brass and with a "bright silver finish". It had a #1½ bore (0.458") and top spring valves. In 1967 Conn started to produce the 60B, and it lasted at least through 1972. The following information below is from the Conn Loyalist page: The horn actually plays quite well and the 60B's are some of the most underrated trumpets out there. The compression is quite good with thick oil (1.5 out of 10!). There is some visible lacquer wear, which is to be expected with a horn of this age. and a very small spot of redrot on the leapipe (also very early signs). The above list is a sequential account of the serial numbers, followed by the year of completion.This is an awesome vintage trumpet! There are some signs of usage of course from a horn with this vintage. Beginning in 1961 Schilke initiated a new numbering system. For example, a trumpet with the serial number 4859 was completed on April 8, 1959. Prior to 1961 Schilke instruments were marked with the date of completion as the serial number.
