Conn New Wonder "Chu Berry"
Re-Lac - Fresh Overhaul #166,943










  
BACK

    A good straight Conn New Wonder "Chu Berry" from 1925. The horn has received a recent re-lacquer and looks pretty good good. It is brighter than an aged lacquer but being a more modern finish will no doubt be more durable than the older stuff. We are going to overhaul this horn, not because it is in bad shape but rather because we just don't want any horn to leavy here bearing any question as to the  pads and springs and the only way we can be certain of the instrument's quality is to do it ourselves. It therefore will receive a full This Old Horn Vintage Overhaul  that will last for many years.

It has a few of the usual small dents and bumps from use but nothing worth repairing. The neck is in good shape and has no evidence of a pull-down or repair. In all, once done, this will be a great horn with that inimitable Chu sound and feel. I've got one and I can use it side by side with my Mark VI. If I had to give one up, I really don't know which one it would be.

All our horns ship in a period trunk case unless otherwise instructed. If you aren't crazy about dealing with an early case (smells, condition, questionable protection for the instrument) we have a great Chinese made, ProTec style, zipper, hard sided foam, case available for an additional $105. We recommend this case very highly and we love to ship in them because then we are certain there will be no damage.

Have a look at these cases at: CASES or from the Home page under Accessories.

CALL US IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OR NEED TO ASK A QUESTION. WE'RE AT 859 657-6341 OR YOU CAN EMAIL US ON THE ADDRESS AT THE BOTTOM OF OUR HOME PAGE.

REMEMBER: "We want you to be happy with your  horn, and us."
