Wichita Band Instrument Company Wichita, Kansas. G Conn 8D Double French Horn in Nickel-Silver, Made in Eastlake, Ohio; serial #5-670104. The Conn 8D French horn was borne out of the collaboration between powerhouse horn-playing brothers Arthur, Jack, and Harry Berv and the innovative engineers at C. Introduced in 1938, the Conn 8D cemented the tradition of large bell, all nickel silver, Kruspe-wrap French horns in the United States. Quickly becoming the instrument of choice for the Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic, the sound of the Conn 8D has also been heard by billions of people worldwide in Hollywood film scores. With its distinctive tone quality and a broad acoustic profile, the warm sound of the 8D attracts horn players worldwide. The large bell throat helps keep the sound from spreading and getting too overblown in loud passages and the all nickel silver construction gives clarity to the sound. The 8D excels in the recording studio, where its fully formed sound is picked up authentically by microphones at any distance. Whether you are recording the latest Hollywood blockbuster, practicing in your home studio, or on stage in a famous concert hall or your local high school, the classic sound of the 8D is back, ready for the 21st century. Original Valves on this horn are still tight, with 99% of original epoxy lacquer finish. Never any wrinkles and minor dings have been burnished out by our shop. No patches, no thin spots. Set includes:Case, Mouthpiece. This is a good Double Horn for student or adult amateur use. Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA.

Its design makes the horn very responsive and free-blowing with excellent tonal balance. The 8DRS features a traditional large throat rose brass bell that gives a darker sound with richer depth.

As of October 2018, Conn has discontinued the Rose Brass bell option on the 8D horns. The Conn 8D with a Rose Brass Bell (known as an 8DR) has the entire bell made from a higher copper content brass know as “Rose Brass”.

This horn is an excellent Elkhart 8D, SN 918615. It has had a long, but good life, and is still in excellent working condition. The valves have good compression. The original leadpipe was replaced with a Lawson FB-110-125 leadpipe. The bell has been cut, and the flare was replaced with a custom flare by Atkinson Brass in California. The finger paddles have beautiful, excellent 1943 dimes professionally installed. I personally play an 8D, and this is one of the better Elkhart horns that I have played. The sound is huge and dark. The Lawson pipe and Atkinson flare have added a good deal of flexibility and power to the horn. The soft side of the volume is clear and easy. The louds are powerful. The tone is even between registers, and all registers play easily. This is a fantastic professional instrument that has many years of service left in it if cared for well. The metal of the horn is still in good shape. There is some minor evidence of removal of dents from the bell flare. There are some minor dents in the 3rd valve slide (Bb side), but nothing deep and nothing that is affecting tone. They are easily removable. I might remove them, and if I do, I will update the listing. Included is a very nice ProTec ProPac screw-bell case. It is used but in good condition. No mouthpiece is included, but a mouthpiece can be included upon request. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
