The Conn Cornet Model List
Anyone who has checked out Ralph Jones' Conn model number index pages probably knows that the cornet pages lower than the 46A are missing. The model numbers above 46A have some gaps in the dates, and possibly some errors. This is an attempt to reconstruct the missing pages, and complete the existing pages. I have included an extra column to indicate the year(s) when the instrument was (at least) in use. If both the "Year Introduced" and "Year Discontinued" column is filled in, the "Years Used" column is left blank (no need stating the obvious). Italics indicates "educated guess".
The following list is by no means complete or even correct. If you find an error, or have a cornet produced before roughly 1970 (see serial number index) with a model number that doesn't appear on this list or is produced outside the years indicated on this list, please let me know (see main page for e-mail).
