Conn 8DS CONNstellation Series Double Horn

A masterfully crafted double French horn for discerning musicians.

The Conn 8DS CONNstellation Series Double Horn is designed for professional players seeking an instrument that delivers rich, resonant tone with precise intonation and responsive playability. The 8DS features a nickel-silver leadpipe that provides balanced breath resistance, allowing for maximum tonal control and expression. Its 0.468″ bore and Kruspe wrap configuration produce a broad, velvety sound with a stable pitch center. The 8DS is equipped with high-quality nickel-silver valves, slides and tapered rotors that enable smooth, accurate fingering.

Robust Tonal Qualities

The 8DS’s large-throat, 12.25″ nickel-silver bell generates a subtle yet powerful tone that projects clearly in chamber groups, orchestras and solo settings. Its screw bell allows for easy removal, transport and storage of the instrument. A clear lacquer finish gives the horn a polished look while subtly influencing its acoustic properties.

Ergonomic Design Enhances Playability

An adjustable finger hook provides a comfortable hand position for extended practice or performance. Nickel-silver valve caps, slides and tapered rotors facilitate quick, precise fingering. The 8DS’s balanced weight distribution makes it easy to hold and manipulate during play.

Versatile and Transportable
