Conn 8D Elkhart Indiana N Series Double French Horn W/ Lawson Lead pipe (Free Postage Lower 48 States)
Up for your consideration is a Conn 8D Elkhart Indiana N Series Double French Horn that is absolutely lovely! This horn is one of seven Elkhart Conn 8D's that I recently picked up on consignment. The previous owner of the horn collection had the horns serviced by Paul Navarro and Chuck Ward over the years. This particular horn is equipped with a Lawson Lead Pipe! This horn does not show signs of any previous major dent work. The Tail and Bell Flare on this horn is Solid! The Finish on the horn is original and looks wonderful for the horns age! Overall, the finish on the horn is very respectable and limited to surface wear. There are some minor, dings, dents, surface scratches & wear; and other signs of character. Please check out the pictures for further clarification of condition. The tail looks amazing with a very nice Conn Elkhart Bell engraving! The inside tubing is in good condition. The original lead pipe has been replaced with a Lawson Lead Pipe. This is a very nice horn with a lovely sound! This horn recently came out of the shop and was given an inspection; All of the braces are secure, all of the tuning slides and valves caps move freely, and the valves are fast, quiet, and responsive with like good compression. I did a valve compression reading on the valves and all of the valves had readings between 1.0 - 2.0. The serial number is posted for your review. The horn comes with a case with 3 functioning latches. This horn not only looks amazing for its age! THIS HORN IS A PLAYER!
