Description Brand: C.G. Conn Skill Level: Any Type: Double Horns Finish: Clear Lacquer Model: 8D Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Bell Material: Nickel Silver
Lightly used and only has a couple of scuffs/scratches that are barely visible under most lighting. scratches are on the outer part of the bell and near the finger hook. Valves have scuffs/wear from being used.This model is labeled as a professional skill level horn but I had no trouble back when I played it as a beginner/intermediate. It produces a BEAUTIFUL tone that will definitely not disappoint.The valve strings are all connected and work just fine. The transportation/protective case has normal wear on edges but no dents or cracks. Hinges are good as new. Everything is solid and works as it should! The carrying handle folds down for convenience. This horn was chemically cleaned and lubricated professionally about two years ago and has NOT been used since. All the tuning slides move easily or with little effort (this can be improved by greasing them). Valve are also in perfect, smooth, working condition although valve oil will be necessary to begin using this horn again.Although it has a clear lacquer finish over the nickel, it can appear to have a brassy color in warm lighting. It's true color is a beautiful nickel silver. Included is a cleaning snake brush, valve oil, slide grease, and the 7BW mouthpiece it originally came with. (oil and grease containers are low - half-filled. Will work fine until used up!)
