Conn 8H Bb Trombone, Silver - Secondhand

Full Description

Attention to detail

Conn pride themselves on exceptional build quality. This is why all of their instruments are hand-built by experienced artisans in the United States. The 8H features a large .547'' bore which is typical of most premium symphonic trombones as it creates a warm and rich sound. The large 8-1/2'' bell is perfect for projecting this rich sound with plenty of resonance to the back of the biggest concert halls. The Conn 8H comes with a professional hardwood shell case and Conn 5G mouthpiece, both specifically made for this instrument.

Premium materials

Much like most of the trombones from Conn, the 8H is constructed using rose brass. Rose brass is the material of choice for the majority of orchestral brass players as it has a darker sound compared to the more common yellow brass. To ensure that your slide is always fast, the 8H has a chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide which also provides a bright and powerful sound to the performer. Nickel silver is used for many premium trombone slides because it's firmer and has greater corrosion resistance compared to standard brass. Once the 8H has been constructed, a layer of clear lacquer is applied to make sure the instrument stays looking newer for longer.
