Golden age of concert bands
This era is listed by Conn as lasting from 1885 to 1913. Quoting the January 1969 issue of Conn Chord magazine: "The Golden Age of Concert Bandsfrom 1885 to 1913 kept Conn busy manufacturing mouthpieces to suit the varied demands of the leading musicians of the day. During this period of Conn mouthpiece development, the company was also constantly developing a number of special mouthpieces." (Copyrighted, 1968, By Conn Corp.)
