Conn Selmer Inc - 6D

Description

The next generation Conn Selmer 6D double french horn takes the critical mouthpipe, first branch, and bell tapers of the historic 6D and pairs them with the chassis of the iconic Conn 8D. The switch to the durable nickel-silver Kruspe-wrap chassis of the 8D brings many of the construction advances to the 6D, including revised manufacturing processes, acoustic enhancements, and ergonomic improvements.

The combination of yellow brass slide crooks, first branch, and bell with a nickel silver mouthpipe and branches blends the warmth of yellow brass with the clarity of nickel silver.

The revised 6D is popular with professional musicians who praise its quick response and compact sound with a wide palette of tone colours. Teachers have also praised the more compact wrap and standard tuning slide arrangement as well as the easy control of the small-throat bell.
