    We Ship Worldwide through ebay Global Shipping Program
    From the Conn Loyalist:
    The 15A Director should be about 17" long, and has bottom spring valves. It was built from 1961 through 1971.
    What Conn said in 1962:
    Completely New,
    these Conn
    Directors
    offer new and greater heights of performance for the aspiring young musician. Even the untrained embouchure can easily play each note
    right on the button
    due to the remarkably centered response. Every minute detail has been specifically designed and created with the student in mind so that he may quickly progress to the best of his ability. The new Conn
    Directors
    are acoustically, mechanically, and musically superior...
    without doubt the finest value in this price range!
    Special features of the new Directors:
    "Anti-Bounce", positive, quiet valves. Bell thickness graduated for finest tone. Newly calibrated bore for easier high register. Brilliant, longer lasting "Lustre-Conn" finish.
    What Conn said in 1966:
    The [15A ] most widely used cornets in beginning band programs. Acoustically designed to allow students to "center in" on notes more easily and to be free blowing. 15A has brass bell. Many Conn exclusive features, including Lustre-Conn, slotted bottom valve caps, telescopic right angle braces, calibore design. Length 16 11/16". Bell 4 3/4".

    Important!!! AS-IS Condition Vintage & Antique Instruments
    do not have a warranty and though they have been serviced, these vintage instruments can still have minor fit and performance issues after servicing. Vintage and antique horns need to be put back into service with your regular playing after purchase. Many vintage instruments have had solder and other repair work done in the past and many have sat for sometimes decades and even after thorough cleaning, more extended cleaning and fit work may be needed. These instruments I offer on Ebay are refurbished, played for a few minutes to check for performance and problems and then they are shelved until after the horn is purchased or play tested locally. I am not familiar with every horns performance characteristics, bore size or history, but I do learn every day and do my best to offer educated advice.
