The T.U.B.A. reprinted portions of the Conn catalog of 1924 a few years ago, (Spring, 1989). There is an illustration of the New Wonder Model Orchestra Grand Bass in BBb or CC. The CC is listed as a 36-J. The bell diameter listed is 23" and the bore size isn't mentioned. To quote the author of the T.U.B.A article, Mr. Gary Stewart: "They must have been made to special order-there isn't one among the 300+ tubas at The Shrine to Music Museum, and neither has one been heard of." Hope this is of interest to you. Congratulations on obtaining a great horn!
