    Description

    Selling a Conn 8D French Horn. It doesn’t have a case or mouthpiece (only mouthpiece I have is my custom one). It has been play tested and plays wonderfully, but definitely could be fixed up to be an amazing horn.
    Here is everything I can see wrong with it:
    *The bell obviously has seen better days. However, there are no tears are major crumples, meaning it could be worked out to look nicer. See pictures
    *The crook of the bell has some major dents. Some have been worked out as best as possible with magnetic dent balls, but it could use more work. See pictures.
    *The pinky rest is missing, and that part of the horn is also dented. Could be repaired easily.
    *The third valve slide brace is missing a solder. Didn’t affect playability or cause any leaks. Pretty easy/cheap repair.
    *I have no idea when this horn was professionally chem cleaned last. I did ultrasonic clean all of the small parts, put oil in the rotors and greased all the slides.
    *The horn doesn’t have a case or a mouthpiece, which is why I’m listing it 0 under suggested retail for the condition.
    *There is a slight dent in the lead pipe that could be taken out.
    Ignoring all the dents, the horn does play wonderfully. I was playing the Song for Lyndsay solo right before I posted this just to make sure. If your looking for a pro horn for a fraction of the price, this could be a great horn!
    The horn is in working condition and sold as it. I do not accept returns, so please ask questions, see all pictures, and read the description completely. Thanks and happy buying!
