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.

This is a Cornet in Bb labeled Conn-Queror / C G Conn / Maker / Elkhart Ind. ” on the bell and on the second valve “M for medium bore and serial number 100284 which dates this to about 1907. This is silver plated brass with some areas of plating loss only on the main tuning slide. The valves work great and still have pretty good compression. I can only hear a slight air hiss on each of the valves when pressurized. Plays with a great sound and decent tuning. Plays in modern low pitch A = 440hz and has a secondary tuning slide which was probably meant to change this to play in A. There are two missing knobs on slides and the second slide has a slight flat spot. The bell has a nice gold wash on the inside and there are two crease marks on the bell from wrinkles being removed. Comes with a Conn case that’s in ok condition. One outer latch has lost its spring but the others work fine. Also has original music lyre and cleaning rod. Included is a Buescher Tru-Tone 1 silver plated mouthpiece in really nice condition. 4-5/8″ bell x 14-1/2″ long with a 0.448 bore at the second valve slide.

Silver and Brass Music Shop is a brick-and-mortar brass instrument restoration and repair shop located in Carson City, NV. This is a Conn 8D double french horn serial number. The 8D is Conn’s symphony double horn, and is constructed from solid nickel silver. This horn has had the original leadpipe upgraded to a yellow brass Lawson. The original bell was also replaced with a modern Conn 8DS bell. Finally, the horn has been fitted with a Conn hand rest and an Alexander adjustable pinky hook. The horn plays very well. The valves move well with good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few small dings and pings as well as some isolated areas of light pitting, etching, and scratching throughout. The bell engraving reads: C. / CONN/ 8D/ U. The bell tail also has the cursive signature C. CONN engraved near the pinky hook. The leadpipe has: LAWSON engraved on the mouthpiece overpart as well as 108125 stamped where the leadpipe enters the tuning slide. All the minor imperfections are visible in the pictures, and none of them affect the playability of the horn. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop and repaired to full playability. This horn is not lacquered; therefore fingerprints should be wiped off after use if the player wishes for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now; if they are not wiped off then the horn will develop a lovely patina.

All registers of the horn speak well with a full-bodied low register and a clear high register.
