“Elkhart Conn 8D - All round a very good french horn.” Written on: by hornist116 (1 review written) Elkhart Conn 8D - All round a very good french horn that can be used in many differing styles of music. It plays very well and the notes are well-spaced and notchy.
This item is in excellent condition. Here's an AWESOME Elkhart Conn 8D. The Conn 8D is a breed apart among double horns. Brilliant, bold sound, awesome response, and great intonation have made the 8D a staple of American orchestras. While any 8D is a good instrument, the Elkhart instruments are legendary.

This one was made at the legendary Elkhart factory (serial number Kxx,xxx - see pic). This horn is in terrific playing condition and good cosmetic condition. Original lacquer is 90% or so.
There are minor dents and scars (see pics), but this horn has never been badly damaged. Valves are excellent and tight, and this horn plays great like you'd expect an Elkhart 8D to. Pics tell the rest of the story! Product Specs Condition: Brand Model Categories.
A few weeks ago, someone in this newsgroup was asking how to interpret Conn serial numbers. I had saved the following items from the horn discusssion list a few months ago and am posting them now. They seem to tell everything you need to know.

I was trying to help a friend of mine figure out a serial number on his 8D, too. His doesn't have the letters in front either, & I know it is an older horn. Mine is a '79. The repairman who works on my middle school instruments told me how to find out what MY serial number meant, so I'll relate that. Here goes (by the way, this is a fabricated number as an example, so if it's your horn, it's only a coincidence!): GE920072 First letter at front = the decade (G is the 1970s) Second letter at front = the month (E is May--5th letter, 5th month) First single digit = year (9 is 1979) Next single digit = 'French horn group' Last four digits = the number of the horn that was built that month (0072 would be the 72nd horn built) Hope this helps somewhat, and if you want me to ask the repairman about the older numbers, let me know!
Constance Sanders Bellevue, KY USA From Thu Jun 15 07: Date: 5 Oct 1994 09:35:13 -0600 From: 'PEASE, Paul' To: IHS DISCUSSION GROUP Subject: CONN Serial Numbers For those of you who did not get an earlier (June 1994) message, I have copied a list of CONN serial numbers and approximate dates of manufacture. To my knowledge, for 1940 vintage CONN horns you will find the serial number on the thumb valve casing, not under the valve levers as on more recent horns from CONN. Here's the list.
