Used Conn Vintage 8D in lacquered nickel silver, very good condition. We cleaned this horn and aligned the rotors, and it is ready to play! Perfect for the advancing student, this is a redesigned version of a classic workhorse. There's some lacquer loss at the contact points, as well as some surface scratches, but nothing that affects playability. Comes with original case.
FROM CONN:Based on the 1937-1957 design of the Elkhart 8D, the Vintage 8D offers custom stress free assembly and vintage design to create a versatile instrument throughout all registers. The lightweight, annealed bell provides response and tone characteristics similar to that of Elkhart-built 8D's - large, dark orchestral sound and quick response. These qualities are further enhanced by the annealed mouthpipe and first branch. Parts are assembled as "stress-free" as possible by focusing attention on component fit. This process is aided with the use of multiple-piece bracing that ensures precise fit while at the same time, minimizes tension. Other classic elements include soldered-on bead rings and vintage style rotor caps that help distinguish this horn.
