The Conn 8D has been produced in three different plants, in order: This gets at also that there have been a number of changes over the years to this classic horn. My old ones have a larger (in the tail, ala Kruspe) heavier bell, and sound better. They went to a thinner bell as well, then. That might explain why the Conn had slightly better intonation than the Kruspe, and was not prone to “wolfs.” He also said that the bell taper was changed slightly in the early ’60s due to new mandriles and a new bell spinner on the job. Jim Klapp, sales manager at Conn in the ’60s, told me on a visit to the Elkhart plant in ’69 that the 8D was based on Arthur Berv’s Kruspe with certain modifications, mainly the taper of a Schmidt leadpipe. There is a brief history of the early production of the Conn 8D by Kendall Betts over in The Conn 8D website, where he notes that the first instruments have serial numbers in the 320,000 series.

The model was first produced in 1937 this advertising image from 1956 is linked from the Conn Loyalist website. But, as I noted last week, it is a distinctive design and “some hornists … hate 8Ds almost as much as some hate the mellophone.” The first obvious thing to note is that the Conn 8D is a classic instrument beloved by many players. turns out classic horns for world’s best musicians.” Also last week I got back to exploring my roots in the Conn 8D school of horn playing so it is a good time to review what a “vintage” 8D is.
