Conn 8D French horn

The Conn 8D ‘CONNstellation’ was the first popular American-built professional French horn and in its time formed the foundation of the horn sections of many US orchestras. It is one of the instruments for which Conn is best known.

The traditional large throat bell gives a beautiful, dark sound with rich depth, and its lighter-weight all-nickel construction makes it accessible to a wide range of players.
