Re: Looking for Neck for Conn C Melody
Here is another question for you if anyone is still reading this thread....
I have the Conn C Mel with no neck that I got for a bargain. I also have a Lyon and Healy that is complete. Which is the better horn? Past experience tells me the Conn, but some people in the forum have expressed that the Lyon and Healy is the best C mel to have.
Other question is...once it is intact... how much would a Conn C Mel approximately be valued at. It is a 1924 model. Rolled tone holes, plating in awsome condtion, no visible dents. The case is in excellent condition and doesnt even have that "old horn" smell. Obviously it needs a repad, but that aside, what is the approximate worth?
I am just trying to get an idea if it is worth my money to buy a neck for it. I will be honest...I bought it off of a guy for $75 "as is" in the hopes that I could eventually come up with a neck. Mistake? Perhaps.
So, which is the better horn?
