Conn Innes

Post by NotSkilledHere »

I have a new horn. Well new to me. A 1914 Conn Innes pre-10/11H nomenclature but it has both the high and low pitch tuning slides so I suppose this would make it the equivalent of it being an 11H once Conn adopted the H naming scheme.

Mine came with rhe original case, both tuning slides, the lyre, and Innes mouthpiece. Everything is in quite good condition. The stockings exhibit conn wear, but it's actually quite smooth dry. Solid 8-9/10 actually. Slide and valve seal is excellent. I cant spy any dent/damage repairs. It plays quite well and is a joy!

I figured I'd share some pics since it's a fairly rare horn. I've heard of 8 including this one and seen photo evidence of 6 including this one. Im sure there's more out roaming the world, but few are documented.

Don't let my horn collection fool you; I'm better at collecting than I am at playing.
