>>>>>>The 424N might have been a copy in wood of the ebonite 24N from the 20s. It has the same oval brand name stamps. The keywork is a lot the same, except for a protective ring for the bridge.<<<<<<<

I overhauled several Conn 24N clarinets and found no similarity to Conn 424N what so ever.

I have had four Conn 424N's in my collection and I can tell you they were absolutely identical to Conn 444N except the little medallion insert on the Bell on the 444N. Both Conn 424N and 444N have headless screws and little locking screws on the posts to lock them in place and both have tone hole inserts (chimneys). The same bore size, keywork and a protective ring for the bridge.

Conn 24N had a regular shaped keywork and regular screws and no protective ring for the bridge.

The EARLY US made Conn 280N Constellation models have the same design like Conn 444N (including medallion)
