CONN 28D post-Elkhart
£1,990.00
Maker: CONN
Model: 28D (post Elkhart)
Serial number: GD940107
Type: Full double in F/Bb
Alloy: lacquered yellow brass
Bell flare: fixed
Visual / cosmetic condition: good, with some lacquer
wear in the expected places. There is some
marbling on the 1st valve's tuning slide, whose
brace needs re-soldering; a very straightforward and
inexpensive job for a brass technician.
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Original hard case.
More details: The Conn 28D is much rarer than
the 'iconic' 8D. Its yellow brass construction gives
it a warmer sonority than the nickel silver 8D.
Our current example is a very good ‘post Elkhart’
28D, very free-blowing and generally responsive,
with a nicely secure and 'slotted' high
register.
It has a distinguished pedigree, having been
played in the LSO by Jonathan Lipton, its
previous owner. It displays all the
Conn virtues: a potentially huge sound,
a wide dynamic range and a
superb legato.
Although a 'professional quality' instrument,
it is also listed in the 'intermediate' category,
owing to its 'below £2000' price.
NB: THE HORN IS CURRENTLY WITH ITS OWNER
IN NORTH ESSEX, about 10 minutes from
Stansted Airport, UK.
