CONN 28D, post-Elkhart, with detachable bell flare
£1,400.00
Maker: CONN
Model: 28D
Made in 1992
Type: Full double F/Bb
Alloy: lacquered yellow brass
Bell flare: detachable, converted, with Paxman rings
installed.
Visual / cosmetic condition: good, some lacquer wear in
expected places, and also where the bell has been
converted and the detachable leadpipe installed.
Valve compression: very good
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Case: 'MB-style', detachable bell, compact and
reasonably lightweight.
Further details: A very good ‘post Elkhart’ 28D
with an unusually clear and 'slotted' high
register.
In addition, it displays all the other Conn virtues:
a potentially large sound, a wide dynamic
range and a superb legato.
Its leadpipe is the Conn original, detachable via an
ingenious system similar but not identical to that on
Holton's Models 104 and 105.
Although a 'professional quality' instrument,
it is also listed in the 'intermediate' category,
owing to its 'below £2000' price.
