C.G. Conn 9D CONNstellation Double French Horn with Detachable Bell

The C.G. Conn 9D CONNstellation is a professional double French horn based on the legendary 8D design, featuring a 12.25-inch bell and nickel-silver build.

Notes: Comes with both hard case and soft bag. There are a couple small dings in the piping, and a barely perceptible crease on one edge of the bell. See photo.
Design and Sound Profile

• Inspired by the 8D: Shares the core acoustic properties and dark tone of the classic Conn 8D.

• Medium Throat Bell: Offers a slightly tighter, more controlled resistance than the large-throat 8D for better blending and focus.

• Nickel-Silver Material: Delivers a robust projection, brilliant core, and rich tonal depth

Detachable Bell Benefits

• Compact Travel: Fits into a smaller, rectangular or square case instead of a giant fixed-bell flight case.

• Easier Storage: Convenient for orchestra lockers, car trunks, and airline overhead bins.

• Maintenance Note: Requires careful alignment of the screw threads when attaching the flare to avoid cross-threading or air leaks.
