Conn V8D
Conn V8D Description:
The new "Vintage 8D" model from Conn is a completely hand-assembled professional double french horn.
This hand assembly increases the production time greatly but yields a horn that does not have the same stress at the solder joints giving the horn better vibration and therefore better performance.
Also featuring a lightweight bell, the Vintage 8D model provides performance never before achieved from the legendary 8D.
Conn is also annealing the bell and mouthpipe. This is a process where the metal is heated up to a "glowing" temperature and then slowly allowed to cool.
This process hardens the metal and also helps to eliminate the stresses inherent in forming metal. This allows for a stronger metal that vibrates better.

- .468" bore
- 12.25" lightweight, annealed large throat bell
- Annealed mouthpipe
