CONN ELKHART 8D, 1968
£2,550.00
Maker: C.G. CONN, Elkhart, USA
Model: 8D, 1968
Type: F/Bb full double; series 'L'
Bell throat profile: L (large)
Alloy: nickel silver
Bell flare: detachable
THREE leadpipes:
1) Conn original; 2) Armen Boldy/Artisan Horns; 3) Seraphinoff
Leadpipe 2 is currently in place, via the horn's installed
detachable leadpipe system.
Visual condition: good overall, despite the lacquer being only
about 10% intact.
Distance from finger hook to 4th valve lever: 11.00 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).
Case: CONN backpack in very good condition.
Further details: this ‘classic’ 8D from the
Elkhart era plays superbly over the entire range.
NB: it is currently with its owner in North London, UK.
