7 1/2 inch Conn trombone bells

Post by Thrawn22 »

What proline Conn trombone models had 7 1/2in bells? I heard sone 6Hs had that size, but what others? Here's what i got so far for sure:

12H (coprion)
38H (constellation)
77H (intermediate i know)


What else?

Are there 4Hs out there with 7 1/2in bells? There are 77H bells that have the same engraving has the 60s 6H. That'd be good one to get.
6H (K series)
6H (early 60s)
4H/5H custom bell
78H ('53)
78H (K series)
78H/36BG /2547 slide

Add 32H (Burkle) to the list.

My 1928 6H has a 7.5" bell, highly engraved silver plate w/gold wash flare.
