Eb-C |
 |
| The 1918 Conn Catalog describes the 6E as an alternative to the French horn in modern bands, but were not appropriate for orchestra settings. The catalog pointed out that bands use French horn music in Eb (which was a short lived convention of the time). The instrument was pitched in Eb and also came with a crook to lower it to C so it could play off of piano music.

| Bell reads, "Conical Bore / Patented / E A Couturier Co., Ltd / Sole Makers / New York". He incorporated in NY in late 1916 and likely started with #1000 so this was probably made in 1917 or early 1918 before they were marked with "Elkhart".

Valves serial number is in range only for York Couturier Wizard cornets (c.1914) and has York patent and bore size embossing on lower 2nd valve (same as York Couturier Wizard cornets).
Salvation Army horns show characteristics of both York and Couturier horns, so seems reasonable that Couturier took unfinished work-in-process with him when he formed his own company and the split was amicable.
