More later…

As someone who a) owned a Conn 56J and a 52J and b) has played several Matt Walter's creations (late 97-01), I can't wait to hear your feedback on this horn. This should be incredible.

Safe travels!

I like how Willie sings the line "seeing things I may never see again" 46 years ago, and he's now 93 years old. I bet he darn sure saw most of those things an extra 4 or 5 times, at least.

Fantastic musical instrument.

Fantastic.

Congrats Sir! I’m very happy for you!


That piece between the 4th valve and the MTS looks like it would have been a challenge to make!

I love it when things work out for forum members.. Congratulations Wade!

Please excuse my ignorance. What is the make and model of this beautiful instrument?

It is/was the prototype Conn 56j, made by Matt Walters using King parts, silver plated by a previous owner.
