Biber: Note the additional tuning slide brace not generally found on the New Proportion. Post market addition?
Can anyone attribute actual bore sizes to the designations 0, 0-, 0½, and 1 bores?
0, as I have been told is probably .459"
Pryorphone: With my 128th" vernier caliper, using the ID of the #2 inner slide, I get:
"0": 0.453" (1912 "Couturier Model/New Proportion")
"0 1/2": 0.461" (1915 "Made By" (same wrap as New Proportion))
Joe440: The tuning slide brace appears to be original, judging from the plating between the brace and the slide. The water key on the main slide was replaced at some point as the base is diamond shaped, not oval as on the third valve key, and you cae the original (unplated) water key mark on the main slide.

| OLDLOU: I just picked up in a trade a twin in appearance to #7 in this segment. What intrigues me is that mine,# 4833 is a cornet in C, which can be converted to Bb by sliding the forward tuning slide in the leadpipe out to a line and doing the same with the first and third valve slides. Interesting!!! This is the first cornet that I have encountered that was made as a C cornet with a slide to C other than the old Conn which had a verical slide in the belltube for conversion to Bb.
Pryorphone: My 1908 and 1909 Conn Wonderphone cornets are set up that way; C all the way in, with lines for Bb and A. High and low pitch besides!
