This is a vintage (serial number HD240042) Conn 8DRS Double French Horn. The 8D is Conn's large bore professional symphony double horn, and is usually built from solid nickel silver in a Kruspe wrap style. This horn is the 8DRS variant, and has a bell, 1st branch, and leadpipe all of which are made from rose brass for a warmer, fuller tone. This horn also features a screw-bell configuration, so the bell is detachable for easy storage. The valves move well with very good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there is some very light isolated pitting on the hand guard, as well as a few very small pings here and there. The minor imperfections are not noticeable (probably not 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. This instrument comes with a hardshell screw bell case in very good condition, and a mouthpiece in good condition.How the horn plays: Full, round, warm and colorful sound; tone is very smooth and milky; the F and Bb sides match well, with the Bb side being just a hair brighter; the horn is very open and responsive; the horn has a good dynamic range, capable of a very soft, mellow pianissimo and a full, edgy but not blatty fortississimo; the low and high ranges speak very well
