The Conn 62HI combines the broad, colourful sound of the Conn Symphony tradition with the practical advantages of an independent double-rotor system. Favoured in orchestral, ensemble and commercial settings, it delivers a rich, resonant tone with excellent projection and clarity.

Its rose brass bell contributes warmth and depth, while the inline rotor system provides confident access to the lowest register. The open-wrap design promotes a free and responsive feel, and interchangeable leadpipes allow players to tailor the instrument's response to their own preferences.

A popular choice among professional musicians, the Conn 62HI offers the distinctive character of a traditional American bass trombone with the versatility required for today's performance demands.

Along with a larger bore and bell diameter, bass trombones are often equipped with a second rotor to extend their low register. There are two double-rotor systems: ‘independent’ and ‘dependent’. An independent system has both rotors sitting side-by-side (or ‘inline’) on the neck-pipe, where they can function alone or in tandem. Dependent models locate the second rotor on the F attachment rather than the neck-pipe, hence the alternative descriptors ‘stacked’ or ‘offset’. In this configuration, use of the second rotor depends on the first rotor being simultaneously engaged.
