Description
The well-known Conn model 8D – these horns make a huge sound!
Nickel silver and very large bore, this one was built in 1970 in the Elkhart period of manufacture. This horn was chosen years ago for the current owner by a colleague who was visiting the US. Plenty of repair work has been carried out on this horn over the years, including some patches inside the flare and some lacquer wear but it still a lovely free blowing instrument that would suit a big player!
This horn is currently set to play standing in Bb only, however the seller is willing to cover the cost of making it interchangeable if necessary. It comes with the original Conn case.
