It is well known, that I am the happy owner of a Conn 40K 4 piston sousa from 1927. My only reservation is the extreme weight of that instrument, but a Wenger chair takes care of that in the playing situation.
These instruments are very rare on the market, so when a sample is wrongly marketed as the Conn 38K, then I can not avoid making this board aware of this chance.
I am no agent for the sale and I am not endorsing this specific sample, as I can not know much about it. However bringing the photo should bring a message, which can be encoded fairly easy.
