FS: Conn 6H with Nickel Slide, Coprion Bell, Saturn Water Key. $650

Post by ttf_Euphanasia »

The bell section of this horn is from a 6H, quite probably Elkhart based on ferrule style, with a moderately heavy 18H Coprion bell. The slide uses inners from an Abilene 18H (.500 bore) and nickel outers from a Getzen Super Deluxe. The crook is from an 18H, but it has been nickel plated to match the slide tubes. The crook features a nickel-plated Saturn water key. The original 18H leadpipe was pulled, collared, polished, and nickel plated. It will accept any .500 friction-fit leadpipe. It's been re-lacquered with epoxy lacquer. I gave it a light buffing, and while it's a ways from perfect, it's still a great-looking horn.

It's an amazing player. The smaller bell makes it a bit brighter than a 10H, and the feedback it gives makes it a whole lot of fun to play. There are a few blemishes--a spot where the nickel flaked off of one slide ferrule and some repaired damage to the bell, but that's all cosmetic.

Comes in a nice vintage case that fits it well and doesn't stink.

Buyer pays shipping.
