Legendary Conn 88H from 1968, Elkhart Indiana. One of the most popular models of all time in the large bore tenor world. Rose Brass bell, yellow brass traditional wrap and tuning slides. Hand slide is in excellent condition and has just been serviced, cleaned, set-up. Bell section is definitely Elkhart, as is the rest of the horn. Some of the Elkhart horns did not have the Elkhart stamp on them- make no mistake, it's Elkhart all the way. "L" Series serial puts in in 1968, 2 years prior to the move to Abilene. Gorgeous dark sound, yet flexible, lots of color when you want it. Valve is quick and quiet. Plays very open. Handslide inner slide tubes are perfect, all original. Chrome inner tubes are 100%. Horn has serious potential and will take an advanced player a long way. Many top level chamber musicians today are playing on 88H's from Elkhart. This single owner 88H has been well cared for, no signs of damage or neglect. Original Case Included.
