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.
