Conn Worcester Alto in Eb c.1898 This is an Alto made by the
C.G. Conn Eb
Cornet is marked Elkhart and Worcester Mass.
Charles Gerard Conn(1844-1931) Conn's
factory in Elkhart suffered a serious fire in 1883, and as part of his
recovery
and expansion planning,
he established a subsidiary plant in the Issac Fiske
factory in Worcester, Massachusetts. In December 1886 he bought the
Fiske Plant and horns made there from 1886-1896 were marked "Elkhart
and Worcester." This silver plated alto, serial #48045, plays
beautifully with a clear centered tone. It is scheduled for restoration
in due course.
