I own a Cb-50 and have tried the 52j and I came away liking my horn all that much more after hearing all the superlatives bestowed on the Conn. The Getzen has a darker, more solid, "bigger horn" feel to it and the valves on mine were MUCH smoother. Of course, the Conn's being new, probably needed breaking in. The Getzen does have a bit of a top-heaviness to it, but it's worth dealing with for the sound and the quick response. I can't say about the 56j, not having seen one, but this is what I know from the other one.
