Re: C.G. Conn 19 keys 7 rings

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?

Claus
