Pre-Owned C.G. Conn 10D Symphony Double French Horn - Detachable Bell / Custom Finish
We have a genuinely unique and fantastic-playing C.G. Conn 10D in the shop today. If you are looking for a professional-level instrument that offers an incredibly smooth, fluid response and a beautiful, singing tone, the 10D is a stellar choice.
Unlike the massive, dark-sounding Conn 8D, the 10D features a Geyer wrap design. This setup allows for a highly even transition between the F and Bb sides of the horn, making it a favorite among advancing students and professionals who need agility and a slightly more compact, colorful core sound for solo, chamber, or light orchestral work. This specific horn features a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind finish and a detachable screw bell, making it the ultimate travel companion.
Key Features
- Geyer Wrap: Provides less resistance and a more free-blowing feel, resulting in a beautifully even scale and excellent slotting.
- Yellow Brass Construction: Offers a warm, traditional French horn sound with plenty of projection and clarity.
- Detachable Bell: The bell flare is fully detachable (screw bell), making this horn incredibly travel-friendly and easy to transport in compact flight cases.
- Medium Throat: The standard medium bell taper gives the player a great balance of control, focus, and core resonance.
Condition & Shop Inspection
Cosmetics: Unique Custom Finish / Player's Condition. This horn has a truly fascinating aesthetic. It features a unique finish that displays the rich, oxidized tarnish patterns of a naturally aged, unlacquered horn, but it is completely smooth to the touch! It appears to have been professionally clear-coated right over a beautifully developed patina, locking in a stunning vintage look without the constant upkeep of bare brass.
Mechanics: Bench-Tested & Ready. Our in-house master technicians have fully inspected this horn. The rotary valves are smooth and quick, the compression is tight, the detachable bell threads perfectly, and all slides pull exactly as they should. It is 100% gig-ready.
Accessories: Includes a protective hard case. (Please note: Mouthpieces are not included with our pre-owned instrument sales.)
