Trompet model met Cornet stift uit 1955 geheel origineel. Trigger op 1e buis. De 28A werd beschreven als: “het geheime wapen” onder de Connstellaions. Tussen heldere trompet tot mellow cornet afhankelijk welk mondstuk wordt gebruikt. Het gaat hierom het Early model. Met electro bell en multi piece brass leadpipe. Mondstuk Bach 7C(cornet). Hieronder wat erover deze cornet wordt gezegd. There has been some confusion over the fact that Connstellations from different years look a bit different. So I have decided to “split” the 28A Connstellation into a page for “Early Model” and “Late Model” as I have done with some of the other models. The Connstellation pictured here is the “Late Model”. The difference with the early model is mainly in the design of the leadpipe and the engraving on the leadpipe. As for the engraving on the leadpipe, the “Early Model” 28A Connstellations have “Connstellation “A” engraved on the leadpipe in addition to the “Connstellation engraving on the bell. The late models only have “A” stamped on the leadpipe. The 28A Connstellation, the cornet version of the 38B Connstellation trumpet. It would be more accurate to say the 38B Connstellation trumpet is the trumpet version of this cornet, since the 28A was first produced in 1955 while the 38B didn’t appear until 1956. For a longer discussion about the cornet-ness of the 28A and 38B, see A theory on the 28A/38B Connstellation and early model 10A/10B Victor. The 28A was produced through at least 1969, and was probably discontinued soon thereafter. The 28A Connstellation has been described as the “secret weapon” or “hidden gem” among the Connstellations. I know of several people who prefer it above the 38B Connstellation trumpet. For one, by using various different mouthpieces the sound can varied between bright trumpet and mellow cornet, much more so than on a trumpet. Unfortunately, many people have a hangup about playing a cornet. As long as these people don’t massacre a 28A by amputating the leadpipe and replacing it with one from a trumpet (almost invariably not a Conn) thereby turning it into a worthless hunk of metal, that will leave more 28A’s for the rest of us at a lower price than a 38B would go for. I apologize for the strong language. Serials (5xx, xxx -) 6xx, xxx: “Electro-D” bell (see above), Brass leadpipe (multi-piece). Serials 7xx, xxx – Mxx, xxx: “Electro-D” bell (see above), Coprion leadpipe (seamless). The 28A Connstellation is the real model number of what is frequently known as the 38A Connstellation Long model. There is also a short model Connstellation cornet, the model number of which has been confirmed as 37A (brass bell) and 38A (coprion bell).
