TRULY "THE KING OF CORNETS."
L. A. Sneary, of Pittsburg, Bandmaster
^f the 6th Pennsylvania Regiment, Nation-
al Guard, has sent the following to C. G.
Conn, with reference to the "Connqueror'
cornet:
My Dear Sir:—It is now just six
months since I received one of your new
model cornets, the "Connqueror," finished
in gold, and I have had ample opportunity
to test it in every conceivable manner. It
has met all these tests and more than ex-
ceeded all the requirements of the different
situations. From high pitch Bb to low
. pitch A it is in perfect tune, perfectly free
in blowing, the tone is extremely flexible,
pure, full and sweet. In fact, there is
nothing wanting which the most exacting
cornetist could desire. I join my friend,
Herbert L. Clark, of Sousa's Band, and
numerous other professional cornetists in
upholding the merits of this "King of Cor-
nets !" Thanking you for having supplied
me with such a superb instrument, my
dear Conn, I am Yours most sincerely,
L. A. SNEARY.
Handel V. Phasey, director of the Brit-
ish Guards Band, and a soloist of inter-
national fame, has this to say about the
Conn euphonium:
"My Dear Mr. Conn:—I have given the
double bell euphonium (in 'C') which you
made for me a few months ago an exhaus-
tive trial, before writing to you on the sub-
ject, and I have much genuine pleasure in
adding my testimony to the long list of
artists using your instruments. I find it
very easy to blow and the intonation is per-
fect. The valves are so light that one can
execute florid passages quite freely. The
model is most attractive. In positive truth
it is absolutely the best euphonium I have
ever played upon and I have tried instru-
ments of noted European makers. It is a
remarkable
coincidence
that
three
brothers, viz.: My brother Alfred (who
has the reputation of being the great
euphonium player of England), my
brother William and myself, should have
discarded other makers' instruments for
that of your manufacture, proving, beyond
a doubt, the superiority of your make. My
father, the late Alfred James Phasey, was
practically the inventor of the euphonium,
having devised a plan of enlarging the di-
ameter of the bore of the sax-horn bari-
tone, remodeled and renamed that instru-
ment the 'euphonium.' I mention this fact,
as I consider it a grand triple endorsement
from three sons of the god-father of the
euphonium. Wishing you continued suc-
cess, I am,
Yours faithfully,
HANDEL V. PHASEY.
There is a hearty ring about these letters
that carries conviction to the mind of every
one who reads them.
