This is a vintage (serial number GG 740081) 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 and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few small dings and pings and some scratching and pitting throughout the horn. The minor imperfections are 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 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 Conn hardshell screw bell case in very good condition, and a mouthpiece in good condition.How the horn plays: Full, round, dark sound; smooth tone; the F and Bb side timbres match well; the low and high registers speak fairly well; the horn is responsive
