C.G. Conn Model 8D Professional Double French Horn SN 646197 OPEN BOX

Description: C.G. Conn Model 8D Professional Double French Horn SN 646197 OPEN BOX PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Conn 8D has been one of the most popular professional French horns on earth for over 40 years ever since it was introduced, and it is easy to see why. They have a big, bold sound that really lets you be heard over a section. The Conn 8D French horn was borne out of the collaboration between powerhouse horn-playing brothers Arthur, Jack, and Harry Berv and the innovative engineers at C.G. Conn, Ltd. Introduced in 1938, the Conn 8D cemented the tradition of large bell, all nickel silver, Kruspe-wrap French horns in the United States. Quickly becoming the instrument of choice for the Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic, the sound of the Conn 8D has also been heard by billions of people worldwide in Hollywood film scores. With its distinctive tone quality and a broad acoustic profile, the warm sound of the 8D attracts horn players worldwide. The large bell throat helps keep the sound from spreading and getting too overblown in loud passages and the all nickel silver construction gives clarity to the sound. The 8D excels in the recording studio, where its fully formed sound is picked up authentically by microphones at any distance. Conn "CONNstellation" - Key of F/Bb, .468" bore, Kruspe wrap, 12-1/4" large throat nickel silver bell, all nickel silver construction, tapered rotors and bearings, mechanical change valve, adjustable lever bridge, clear lacquer finish, Conn7BW mouthpiece, 7614C plastic shell case.
