Conn 6d Double French Horn Plays Great Compression Excellent Case, With Tags
THIS ONE PEOPLE LOOK FOR AND ONLY HOPE TO FIND. THIS HORN IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION THE COMPRESSION IS GOOD. HAS SOME LACQUER WEAR BUT IS IN REALLY NICE SHAPE. I’M PUTTING IT IN A NEW GATOR CASE WITH TAGS. HARD TO FIND ELKHART’S IN THIS CONDITION. JUST LOOKING AT THE PICTURES ,, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. I GOT THE HORN FROM A PARTY THAT HAD JUST OBTAINED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS A VERY NICE ORIGINAL ELKHART CONN 6D. THE N SERIES IS VERY DESIREABLE. RECENTLY ACQUIRE -ORIGINAL FROM OWNER ELKHART 1970 – N11020. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES. THIS HORN WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO ANY LEVEL PLAYER. THE HORN HAS %90 + LACQUER GOOD. A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES , AND A COUPLE VERY SMALL DENTS. The Conn 6D is designed similarly to its more popular Kruspe-style cousin the Conn 8D. But the horn is a bit smaller and about 25% less expensive — making it a popular choice for younger students who find the 8D too unwieldy and out of budget. Because of the smaller size, the horn can feel easier to play and respond. This is particularly helpful when playing quick passages where the notes need to come out right away, or in smaller ensemble settings where an 8D’s sound might come across as too big and “woofy”. While the 6D does have more of a student reputation, it should not be overlooked by even more advanced players seeking a more controlled tone and ease of playing. In fact, back in the mid 20th century the 6D was considered a more professional level horn. The original Star Trek movie solos were recorded on Conn 6Ds. Manufacturing problems plagued Conn in the 1970s and early 80s when their plant moved to Texas. Any horns made prior to that time in Elkhart are extremely valuable. And those made after 1986, in Eastlake, are generally of better quality. Bottom line: Because the 6D has not enjoyed the same professional lime light as the 8D, it is perceived as less valuable in the marketplace. The 6D is featured on our list of best cheap horns. SERIAL MADE IN 1970 ELKHART.
