Thanks, guys. They did a great job on the cornet. It plays great - did before the makeover, too. That's why I decided to have it prettied up. The one custom touch I added was to have the bell copper plated. Here are a couple more pictures...

Here's a pic of the cornet's older brother, my 1960 Conn 6B Victor. It's in original (almost like new) unrestored condition. Basically a Connstellation in different trim - great horn!
