Blessing trumpet at auction separately, and it really stands up.  Equal in volume and fullness, with a bit more nimble and raw behavior.  This was a pleasant surprise, as most Connquerors don't sound or play all that well.  This one does.In terms of intonation, I was quite satisfied with this horn's pitch, although the first valve seems to produce a slightly sharp result.  I simply pulled out the first valve slide slightly, and voila, the horn is a great Low Pitch (modern pitched) horn, and is in perfect playing order.  Please note that the Bach Mt. Vernon New York mouthpiece is not included.Please check my other auctions for a wonderful D flugelhorn / cornet from 19th Century Paris, 1930 Blessing trumpet, and a Super Olds Los Angeles cornet.
