Here for sale is a used Conn 88ho Artist Symphony tenor trombone. Original price: 4214€
About the history of this great instrument:
C.G.Conn is one of the leading American manufacturers of trombones.
The 88h is one of the most popular instruments for classical music worldwide and can be seen a lot in symphony orchestras.
It was built around 1995 and recently overhauled by us.
What makes this professional Conn 88h tenor trombone distinguishes:
- Powerful, big sound with very nice forte.
- The train runs well . No chrome loss.
- This instrument has a cylindrical pull ( Single Bore). The bore is .547″ ( 13.89mm), the bell is 8.5″ ( 216mm).
- The single valve tenor trombone has the tuning Bb/F
- Beautiful “coat of arms” engraving.
- As a lubricant, I recommend the Yamaha Slide Lubricant or Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort for this 88h.
- “HOW” – So “Open Wrap” construction method. This makes the valve sounds more open. Currently, this model is sold as “HO”.
Condition of this 88ho after intensive examination:
- The train runs well . No chrome loss.
- The tuning slides are freely movable
- Stop felt is available.
- Water flap is tight.
- The valve runs quickly and quietly.
- The paint is in used condition. It is gold lacquer.
- The handles are in good condition.
- The instrument was recently overhauled by us and is now immediately playable.
I am a professional musician myself and have tested this trombone intensively and found it to be in perfect condition. That is why we also give 2 years warranty.
Included accessories:
- The instrument comes in the original Conn case.
Recommendation from me as a professional musician:
- The legendary “88h”, here in the modern open wrap version. A brilliant orchestral instrument !
- As a lubricant for this 88h recommend the Yamaha Slide Lubricant or Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort.
- The instrument should be cleaned regularly from the inside, e.g. with a Reka care set.
