Serial number: 40 322874
Alloy: Nickel silver
Bell flare: Fixed
Lacquer: 95% OK

2 JoyKeys.
Giardinelli C10 'long shank' mouthpiece.
Original Conn hard case.
Further details: A very good ‘post Elkhart’ 8D, excellent in all
its playing qualities. It displays all the traditional Conn
virtues: big sound; wide dynamic range and a lovely
legato.
Distance from finger hook to 4th valve lever: 11.1 cm.
NB: This is an important specification that is often neglected
or overlooked by horn sellers, makers and even some
teachers. The small hands of a young player usually cannot
cope with a left hand stretch that is too wide (although
there is some scope for a brass technician to re-
position either the finger hook, or, less easily, the 4th valve
lever).
Although a professional-quality horn, it is also listed in the
Intermediate category because of its sub-£2K price.
