This is me with Stefano Nunzi double bass and Andrea Nunzi drums.

I think that I have found something special in this Conn.
I've been playing the same set up for almost ten years and I don't feel the need to look for something else.
I just want to knockle down and work hard with me and this intrument.
Have you ever experienced the same?

Thank you @turf3 , you are an example of a person who continues to use what works.
I think that experimenting for a period is good to discover what you like and what you don't, but this doesn't mean that the process should last a lifelong time.
If experimenting comes to the excess it inhevitably lead us to confusion.

Thanks Simon, I appreciate your words!
In my opinion Conn baritones from '30 to '45 with rolled tone holes are the best sounding baritones that you can find.
Some people say that they have bad intonation, but it's not true. If you use a large chambered mouthpiece and you know how to blow they have a good intonation.
They are also lighter than many modern low A horns.
My baitone is from '45 311XXX serial.
I play on an old Otto Link slant signature refaced to '115.
I don't know who refaced it, I bought it yet refaced.
247,XXX is a good serial number!
I'm curious, what are th medium prices in the US?
In Italy thery are around 4.000 euros if in mint condition.
My horn has front F. The ones after the transitional series, have that key.
Thanks @madav , I recorded with a zoom h4N, which is a nice device, not super professional, but nice. The problem is that I didn't place it in a good position.
