1965 Conn 15A Director Cornet | Instrument Reviews

Thanks for checking out this review! Make sure to leave a like and a comment if you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed showcasing this awesome little horn! This is a cornet geared towards students but fun for all ages and levels of playing in a variety of musical settings. Considering many of these can be found online for $300 USD or less and requiring little to no repair work, these are sturdy instruments and GREAT value for the aspiring musician or soloist in a jazz or concert setting.
