I won a bid on a Conn 19 keys / 7 rings. (pic attached). I'm looking to associate a MODEL number to it.
I've checked >> https://cderksen.home.xs4all.nl/ConnNModels.html
and there are NO 19 key clarinets listed.
The serial is B71813L.
Its U.J. has a bore of 14.63mm / 14.10 mm which sounds awesome.
(I've repaired the instrument to playing condition.)
If any historian has data sheets on CONN Clarinets, please help give this horn a Model Number!
Thanks,
Lorna

hi,
I have a also a Conn, made by hardrubber, serial nº B49764L, like yours without the 7th ring. So it hasn´t the modelnumber.
But maybe this side will help

That's a full Boehm, but it lacks the duplicate C#/G# touch for RH finger 2 (that can always be added as it's the same piece as the 'sliver' key for RH3).

That's an otherwise standard Boehm system but with the extended range to low Eb.

This is something as I didn't know Conn made either of these!

Hi Chris,
by the missing modelnumber in the serialnumber, maybe this two instruments are not made by Conn.

Hi Chris, hi Lorna,
I will explain more exactly my instrument.
It´s more less the same instrument like the one of the first post, but without the left hand c-ring with the smal pad. The box has U.S. (¿Army?) engraved, but I´am not shure it´s original, because a real full-Böhm has also enouph space.
It has the C.G.CONN, ELKHART, IDIANA in the elliptically logo, upper and lower joint. Bell and barrel has the eagel with TRADE MARK. All hardrubber.
Serialnumber B49764L in upper and lower joint.
The keys for c# and f# has the older flat springs.
The thump rest has the older form, fixed in the instrument with two screws upper and lower the rest.
1 pivot for low e and f left pinky finger.
The instrument has not the typical fix/security screws for the pivot screws like other ones I´ve seen by CONN.
Has wrap arround register key, not typical for a CONN Böhm clarinet. But if it is one of the first after al the Alberts?
So maybe it is this instrument: Boehm System New Invention with low Eb added - Low Pitch - 1913 in https://cderksen.home.xs4all.nl/ConnNModels.html
So the instruments still has no modellnumber.
¿Anyone knows, when CONN was started with the "fix/securiyy screws?
