C.G. Conn 8D French Horn

Founding his company in 1875 in the small town of Elkhart, Indiana, Colonel C.G. Conn quickly became known for his innovative brass designs and became the largest producer of brass instruments in the United States. While Conn, now part of Conn Selmer company, has undergone many changes in the past 150 years, their French Horn models remain some of the most popular instruments available today.
