The Conn Victor is considered to be a pro model horn. Although the Constellation was the "high end" model from Conn at the time, many pros think the Victor is equal to the Constellation. The late Victor's did not have a coprion lead pipe or bell ('72 to early 80's). They had brass, silver plated or chromed finishes. These were Abilene built instruments and were very individualistic due to lack of quality control at Conn at the time. Many swear that some of their best "players' also came out of this era. I can certainly second that after blowing some notes on this one. Buy here
