Conn 32H Small Bore Tenor Trombone Review

- The Conn 32H was designed by famous Conn engineer "Jake" Burkle and was considered by Mr. Burkle and others to be one of the best trombones he developed. The 32H features a "Duo-bore" .500"-.522" dual bore narrow handslide with long stockings, 7.5" bell and a tapered bore throughout the instrument. It is a different playing trombone from other Conn small bores and a horn we are glad we got to spend some time with in the shop! What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
I recently acquired a Conn 30H, also designed by Jake Burkle, manufactured in 1936. 0.494"/0.507" dual bore, 7" bell. "Conical" concept. It's a surprisingly wonderful trombone - also sounds larger than its specs.
I haven't had a chance to spend time with the 30H but would love to at some point; thanks for sharing!
You get all the best toys...
From what I remember when I was working with a well known trombone maker here in England the 32H bell is actually an 8H one cut to 7 1/2". Someone asked about alloys here , Conn had an alloy they called P27 that they used to make outer slide tubes with on some models. P27 of course is just a made up marketing tool but we had some analysed and ( from memory, it was a while back) It was an 85/15 gilding metal with the addition of 2% tin which would have made it much a harder and springier . 32H ''s are really great horns and like you said kind of unique . Jake Burkle certainly knew a thing or two .
Thanks for the great info! I seem to remember hearing somewhere else about the 8H/32H connection! I think Conn had more clever "marketing gimmicks" then any of the other major makers during the 30's-60's; I could read the classic catalogs and ads all day!
Nice Burkle! Passed on a 30H recently that needed some work. Still kicking myself. Lol
Another nice video. Much appreciated!
I admire your playing.
Thanks for watching!
very good video again !!!
Thanks for watching!
I have both a very early 3OH and a 1952 32H. I see/hear you noticed the 32H is an excellent salsa horn🙂🙂. According to Conn catalogs the specs are .500/522 but I think the upper is closer to a .508.
Looks and sounds like a great horn! Any chance of a review on the Yamaha 630?
Would love to hear some of the low register.
the outro is pedro navaja
Beautiful tone at low volume. But gets a bit too bright at high volume for my taste.
Whats your favorite small or dual horn you’ve played on ?
What types of brass did conn produce these in? Having a hard time finding info on this horn
That's a great question! There is quite a bit of information about the design of the 32H, especially given it's Burkle heritage and unique conical design, but I can't really find much about the particular alloy as well. Conn was pretty cagey about this information anyway, from what I can tell; they were a big fan of creating new names for alloys without really saying what they were...
Would you mind doing a review on the Conn 88HO?
I can't believe I haven't done a solo review with the 88HO yet! It will be next on my list; thank you for the suggestion!
Olá como faço para ganhar um trombone
This isn't a tenor trombone
Sorry if I made a mistake! How would you categorize this model?
@@SchmittMusicTromboneShop I would call it maybe like a standard model trombone or a beginner's trombone you could also call it a jazz trombone if you wanted since those models are best for jazz band. Sorry if my correction came out badly, I meant good things just so you know.
It's a tenor trombone. If it's not an alto trombone and it's not a soprano trombone or a bass trombone, it's a tenor trombone. Calling a trombone a "jazz" trombone is ok but it's still a tenor trombone.
@@brassedoff2437 it produces a tenor sound but don't tenor trombones have a trigger which allows c in 1st and b natural in 3rd position?
The F attachment (which allows for the alternate notes/positions you mentioned) are often seen in tenor trombones, in particular large bore tenors, but trombones without the F attachment are also often tenors. This is actually a commonly confusing topic; many folks don’t realize that there are different sizes of tenor trombone (small, medium, large) which relate to the bore (tubing diameter) size. The term “tenor” refers to its pitch and it’s role in the trombone family; alto wind instruments are often in Eb (like alto trombone), tenor wind instruments are often in Bb and the bass trombone, while now also pitched in Bb, was originally in F...
