After the War Buescher seems to have dropped the "Aristocrat" from Custom Built, on horn engravings and in its sales literature. The first Custom Built models were engraved with "Aristocrat Custom Built". Also at this time of redesign, the nickel silver highlights that were standard in the Custom Built models became an "option", not the standard feature. /rebates/&252fconn-clarinet-serial-number-chart. The Custome Built models took on a WIDER wrap looking less like "Pea-Shooters" and more like modern trumpets. In the 1935, Buescher introduced the "Aristocrat Custom Built" as their TOP of the line model, in 1939 the "400" was introduced and became the NEW top of the line model, and the Aristocrat and the Aristocrat Custom Built were redesigned at that time. So one- and two-digit model numbers became 3-digit model numbers all starting with 2 for trumpets and cornets Some time in the late 20s, Buescher renumbered their horns.

Some models I only have 1 or 2 entries for, so I don't have much of a range to go on. I have done these by looking at my makeshift database. Elkhart, IN -2004: John Ratzenberger's 'Made in America' Filmed -2004 'Bach shield' trademark Renewed: Feb. The "Years Produced" dates below are FAR from accurate. Conn survived as a brand of musical instruments manufactured by Conn-Selmer, retaining several instruments for which it was known: the Conn 8D horn. Just click on the model number and you will go to that specific model page*** Conn was divested of its Elkhart production facilities in 1970, leaving remaining production in satellite facilities and contractor sources. I am still lacking infomation and really GOOD pictures of many of the models, but it's a work in progress! Links to these specific page are available on model that have GREEN model numbers. *** As of September 2013, the Specific Model pages are starting to go up. I am accepting any and all information, pictures, and corrections from anybody that will supply me with said knowledge. The "long term" plan is to have a link on each model that will take you to a page filled with HI-Resolution pictures and information specific to that model.

The horn has been modified to accept both slides, which is nice and gives you some options to tweak the bore size without changing the full instrument. This GOAL of this page is to host pictures and descriptions of all known Buescher TRUMPET and CORNET models (and possibly a flugelhorn if I can find one!). Here's a beautiful 1950s Elkhart Conn 8H bell section with two slides, a medium bore 79H slide (.522) and a Gen II Conn 88H (.547) slide.
