The Horn will be shipped either with an adjustable Holton pinky hook or a Conn “Flipper”, (your choice) in a fixed bell case.Ī good horn for someone who needs a detach bell horn, and you get the Elkhart quality and NiSi sought by many at an affordable price $1650.00 + ship. Wire brushed satin finish…clean it with a green scrubbie… No lacquer with the exception of some residue inside the bell flare. The bell eliminated was crushed and torn in several places.Īs mentioned above, the Bell flare sports a copper Michigan Badge/ patch and the flare has two high temp silver solder pin hole patches, see pics. The horn is a marriage of two Elkhart 8d’s the bell flair off one and the corpus and bell tail off another. It also sports the Mechanical linkage on the thumb valve. It is pretty secure at the high end, insecurity is the sign of excessive valve clearance. On such horns I generally use a slightly heavier oil. Valve compression, usable, but has the usual minor leakage encountered in older Conns. It sets lower on the bell tail the corpus will not fit in some detach cases, It does fit in an Paxman flat case, the MB family of cases but not in a Yamaha flat case. Starting out with a Michigan Badge which is actually a patch on this Elkhart Conn 8D serial # 901414.ĭetachable flare, unknown ring set, Very large similar to the Paxman large ringset, but I don’t have one to check if compatible.
