The Greenleaf Collection includes a hardcover copy of the 1968 Conn Product Manual. The product manual was an important tool for band instrument salespeople working at C. G. Conn, Ltd. This 248-page manual is a treasure trove of information. It includes technical specifications of instruments within brass and woodwind families. It also contains descriptions and photos of the history of C. G. Conn, Ltd., numerous musical instrument innovations, and their other technologies (such as the Stroboconn tuner). In addition to the technical specifics, the document reveals how the Conn company was advertising itself and its instruments at the time.

This manual was the starting point for many musical stories. We'd be honored to collect and share some of them on this site, so we invite former Conn salespeople or dealers to get in touch via our Contact page. We'd love to hear from you!
