CONN 9D-STYLE COPY by 'SCHILLER'
£975.00
Maker: SCHILLER
Model: a generalised Conn 9D copy
'Schiller, Frankfurt Germany' is a stencil name; the
horn was almost certainly made in China or possibly
Taiwan.
Bore / throat: medium-large
Alloy: silver plated brass
Bell flare: detachable
Valve compression: very good
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Adjustable finger hook (allen key supplied).
PHC mouthpiece with PTP hypoallergenic screw rim.
Weight: 2.8 kg – slightly heavier than a typical
Conn (2.6 kg) with detachable bell flare.
Visual / cosmetic condition: only lightly used;
however, the silver plate has dulled, visually, in
some of the more inaccessible places. Just a few
small, insignificant dings merely confirm that this is
a 2nd hand horn, and have no effect on the way it
plays.
The gold plated rotor caps and valve levers add an
attractive touch of 'visual bling'!
Further details: this 'Intermediate' double horn plays
very well indeed, very similarly to a Conn original,
which is exactly what it sets out to do!
It has a comfortable free-blowing 'feel', with a good
high register and a compact, ringing sound over the
whole range.
Housed in quite a lightweight detachable bell case
with backpack straps, this inexpensive double
horn represents excellent 'value-for-money’.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
