Up for auction is a 1959 (serial number 792015) Conn 6D Double French Horn. This instrument was built in Conn's Elkhart factory, is in good condition, and plays very well. The valves move well and there is still some compression left (enough to make the slides "pop"), and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of the instrument, there are pings, scratching, and some light etching throughout the instrument. There is also one small patch on the inner wrap, and the bell has a repair near the main bell brace. 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 has had the old lacquer removed to improve its tone, as well as for aesthetics. Therefore, this horn is finished in pure brass, and may have to be polished every few months, if played often. 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 a somewhat worn hardshell case and a mouthpiece in good condition.All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV89703(775) 301-6289
