Hailing from the age of satin silver and flowery bell engravings, the formidable Conn 21I is an excellent instrument featuring short-action pistons. While this instrument is unfortunately in too poor of condition to 'review' objectively, it is a beautiful time capsule that was still enjoyable to play when I had the chance to do so. The Artist line featured four similar instruments, with three to four valves and varying bell configurations. The 22I, with a forward bell and fourth valve, was the personal horn of choice of the venerable Leonard Falcone. You can hear him on his own 22I via the link below.

Thanks for tuning in, everybody! Let me know whether you’d like to see more historical “showcases” like this one or more reviews of modern instruments!
I hadn't played baritone since college in 1976. Covid brought me back. Started back on a Besson but was gifted a Conn 21i. So much easier for a 69 year old guy to blow. Get in line for your 22i/23i search. Not too many out there. Thanks for this video. Russ Utsler
Thank you for your comment, Russ. I’m glad to hear you got back into playing and that the 21I helped. I’ll definitely be on the lookout once I’m earning a decent salary as a mechanical engineer.
always love learning more about peices of brass history.
Glad to hear it, Ezrah! More to come, of course.
Scruffy Sam!
Thank you for the opportunity to learn.
I appreciate your sharing.
Materials Analysis plus musical presentation. Finally using that degree?
If you want to see scruffy, go back to my hour-long Christmas video! Immediately after that I got a haircut and trimmed the beard.
Still working on the degree but hoping to involve more materials analysis in my videos. I think work hardening warrants its own video at some point…
Great video Samuel!😁👍👏👏
Thank you!
You're so welcome!😁
Love the review!!
I wondered if I’d be hearing from a certain euphonium enjoyer in my audience! Thanks man!
@@SamuelPlaysBrass dark side must prevail
Lot of info, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed!
Love the video! There is a really cool trumpet fanfare thing in a song called “can’t hold us” by Macklemore you should listen to it
Thanks Ben! Man, I remember being 11-12 when that song was either the 2013 or 2014 TH-cam Rewind. Starting to feed old.
Are you going to do the video on how you write harmonies?
@@bens7622 Definitely. That Short on harmonizing a washing machine smashed the 100 like goal within a few hours... oops.
Love it! If I was you I would employ S M Zeus!
Nice video
Thanks Juan!
I have a 15i what’s the difference
That’s a good question. I thought this instrument was a 15I when I first filmed it (hence why I had to redo the speaking portion-I was VERY wrong). The 14I and 15I are similar looking to the 20I and 21I respectively. The 14/15 are student instruments, though. They usually just have a regular lacquer finish. The 20-23 models were “Artist” models: professional-grade instruments with satin silver finishes and heavier engraving. Conn’s student instruments are pretty solid, but their Artist line are easier to play and tend to be more in tune.
Also, to add on, everything I talked about in this video about short-action valves, oval valve ports, etc. does not apply to the 15I. It was only featured on Conn’s higher-level instruments.
This guy is the creator of gravity falls
I’ll admit, I can kind of see the similarities.
