Conn 6H vintage 1958. Without question the best condition and playing 6H that we have found since the beginning of Brass Exchange. A personal favorite, and highly sought after by Jazz Players today. Single owner horn, not played since early in it's life. Was kept in the basement of by the wife of the deseased original owner for many years. We have cleaned and flushed it with a chemical bath and simply replaced the water key pad and cork barrel felts. The finish is 100% original. Absolutely no touch-up or modifications have been done to this instrument. It is doubtful that any 6H from this era exists today in such condition as this one. Now for the best part: Plays absolutely amazing. First, slide is fantastic, no drag or tension, super fast and easy to play on. The inner slide tubers are pristine. Sound is rich and full, lot's of vibrance with this model. This bell section plays in tune more easily than others that I have played on, espicially in the upper range above high Bb to high F. This is the type of horn that a high level player will develop a personality with, unique sound and style. The case has all of the original paperwork, music lyre, and mouthpiece. Even the keys to the case are included. When we find artifacts inside vintage cases, it provides insight.
