This version also had an adjustable 3rd slide finger ring. The nickel plating on the valve casing and slides remained, but the nickel plating on the leadpipe disappeared. From approximately 1958 the 22B Victor was modified again. In 19 the 22B Victor had an entirely nickel plated valve casing, but was otherwise the same as the 1955 model.

This 1955 22B Victor retained the fixed 3rd slide finger ring.

The 1955 22B Victor closely resembles a 22B New York Symphony Special, with the added nickel plating in the same places: a band of nickel plating around the valve casing, and some nickel plating around the leadpipe and the slides. In 1955 Conn redesigned the 22B New York Symphony, bringing its design in line with the other trumpets of the day. Horn does have the original Conn mouthpiece in fair condition but no case. This is a killer commercial or jazz trumpet and a great addition for anyone looking for a sweet playing horn that won't crush your budget.

Valves are super tight and the horn plays FAR better than the price we are listing it for. I love the nickel silver and brass combination. This is a wonderful specimen of the amazing work Conn did in the late 50's.
