Up for auction is a vintage (serial number GL740054) Conn 6D Double French Horn. This instrument is in good condition and plays very well. The valves move well with good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of the instrument, there are some dings and pings and some light scratching and isolated spots of pitting throughout the instrument. This is visible in the pictures, and none of it affects the playability of the horn. This horn has been upgraded to a screw-bell configuration, and the threads on the ring are standard Alexander threads. 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 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 wipes off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This instrument comes with a somewhat worn hardshell case and a mouthpiece in good condition.How the horn plays: Dark, heavy and smooth sound’; the high and low registers speak; the Bb side timbre is a bit brighter than the F sideAll horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV 89703(775) 301-6289
