Up for auction is a 1965 (serial number H06318) Elkhart Conn 8D Double French Horn. The engraving reads "C G Conn LTD. Elkhart IND USA". The 8D, is Conn's symphony double horn, and is constructed from solid nickel silver. This instrument plays very well. The valves have very good compression, and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are some small dings and pings throughout the horn, as well as a small amount of scratching and some light rippling. All this is visible in the pictures, and none of it affects 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 wished 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. This instrument comes with its somewhat worn original hardshell case, and a mouthpiece in good condition.
