For sale: a C.G. Conn 8D professional double French horn in F/Bb, nickel silver, with a detachable bell for easier transport and storage. This is the workhorse model used by orchestral and professional horn players worldwide — solid, dependable, and built for serious playing.

Recently serviced: This horn just came back from a full service — completely overhauled, restrung, and sonic-cleaned by a qualified tech. Rotors are smooth and responsive, slides move freely, and it's ready to play right out of the case.

Specs:

  • Model: Conn 8D (stamped on the instrument)
  • Configuration: Double horn, F/Bb
  • Body: Nickel silver
  • Bell: Detachable/screw bell
  • Valve linkage: String-action (recently restrung during servicing)
  • Comes with original case

Condition: Honest and playable, with normal signs of use for a working professional horn. There are a few dents in the bell throat, including an area with an old professional repair/patch — pictured clearly in the listing photos so you can see exactly what you're getting. Mechanically, the horn is in great shape thanks to the recent service: rotors are tight and quiet, no red rot, no sticking valves. The case is functional but shows wear, including a frayed handle strap.

Priced to reflect the honest condition — please review all photos closely, including the close-ups of the bell repair, before purchasing. Happy to answer questions or provide additional photos/video of the horn playing on request.
