This Elkhart 8D is a great player! It has some signs of use over the years, but it has been well cared for and plays great. It has the classic 8D sound, silky smooth slurs, beautiful pianos, and powerful fortissimos. The lacquer has been stripped, and a modern (Eastlake) 8D cut bell has been added. What a great horn this is!
The valves still have decent compression (though it isn't perfect). The screw bell works perfectly, and the slides all move as intended. There are minor dents and dings throughout (including some small dents in the bell tail) but nothing that is going to affect the sound or playability of this horn in any way.
Included is a German-made flat case in good used condition. The case has spots for mutes and oils and mouthpieces. No mouthpiece is included. If you need a mouthpiece, feel free to contact me at purchase and I can send a Holton Farkas (or similar) mouthpiece with the horn.
The serial number of this horn is N40172.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
Great playing Elkhart Conn 8D (N40172)
