Wanted - Conn 24I Connstellation
I recently found that my school has an older Holton bell-front 3 valve Euphonium. I played it a bit and REALLY liked the sound which brought me back to the marvelous old Conn 4 valve Connstellation (Model 24I) that I played in the mid-60's. I'd LOVE to get my hands on one of these old horns in good shape and would consider a trade and/or for my nice 1942 5 valve Holton double Euph. (which is in near immaculate condition, though of dubious intonation!)

P.S. I have checked eBay for years and only have seen the 3 valve Artists and/or short action horns. The Connstellation was a larger (med shank) bore and had a nice spring loaded tuning slide for help with intonation.
