Conn 8H Elkhart Indiana.  Super mint single owner 8H made in Elkhart before the end of the era, around 1970.  Original purchaser used it in college orchestra for a few years then kept it safely for over 40 years unplayed.  We have seen many 8H & 88H's pass through here over the years.  This one is in super excellent condition.  Freshly cleaned and serviced, chemical flush, adjusted for maxium playability.  Handslide is fantastic, tubes have no inner wear whatsoever, and are totally straight, and aligned perfectly.  Original springs in first position.  All of the parts and finish on this classic 8H are original.  Comes with original case an mouthpiece.  An new 8H by Conn-Selmer today is a replica of this model and sells for $2000.  We have asked the question many times- would you rather have a replica or the real thing? This one plays as good as my personal 8H from the same era.  Will not dissapoint.
