Catalog page may not show the exact model pictured above.
I have this model that I bought from Bernie Miller’s wife after he died. Bernie attended Julliard, and also played with the Fred Hall band in the late 20’s.
After I inspected it, I found serial number 6 marked on the bell. I sent it to Conn to be completly restored in the late 70’s-early 80’s, and still have it stored in my garage. Anyone interested?
I’ve played my 20J purchased direct from Connecticut in 1970 with the help of Turk Murphy, with whom I played in the 50’s. I played that horn with the South Frisco Jazz Band from 1966-1998 before retiring.
Hi Robert! We’re sorry, we do not accept duplicates of instruments we already have. Have you tried posting it on eBay or on any tuba forums? I’m sure it would sell quick!
