Question
I purchased a Conn Director trumpet and was looking for the serial number but do not now where to look. It is stamped 18B on the side of the end where the mouth piece goes. Where should i look for the serial number?
Thanks
Hello and thanks for writing! Unfortunately as you MAY (or may not) know I don't give out any sort of brass instrument information as my information pertaining to them is limited. The serial number should, however, be on the valve casing - most likely on the middle one - facing your right hand when you're holding the trumpet to play on it. Aside from that information I cannot tell you anything more about your trumpet. Thanks -Suzie

Experience
I have been fixing and reselling flutes (both young and old!) for the last 5 years and occasionally some other woodwinds on occasion. I've been well acquainted with antique oboes, clarinets, and most flutes (including piccolos and fifes) and should be able to help with most questions.
Education/Credentials
A few years ago, I attended a technical college for a band instrument repair course. After I left the college, I began educating myself on antique flutes, clarinets and oboes and continue to try helping people with their instruments. I'm able to provide an estimate of the value of the instrument(s) as well as an estimate for restoration of the instrument(s). If you have a very important question and/or I haven't written back to your question within a few days, please feel free to give me a call at any time on my cell phone: 570-236-7054. Thanks!
