But for high school players looking for an upgrade to a professional level horn, the Conn 8D can be a great choice if you love the traditional big, dark American horn sound.We are running light on French horns presently but we do hope to get more in the near future. Because of their large bell, we would not recommend an 8D to a student starting out due to the large volume of air required to sustain it (younger horn players should check out our Conn 6D and Holton H179 reviews). While many Conn loyalists are caught up with the Elkhart models, the truth is that newer 8Ds, made in Eastlake Indiana can be decent horns - but not for every style of player. But it still has its hardcore loyalists and remains one of the most popular American horns. Whether due to these manufacturing changes or general shifts in taste, the Conn 8D is starting to lose some of its stature in the American horn world - with many players moving to custom-made Geyer horns at the professional level. But you'll be increasingly hard pressed to find an Elkhart model in good working condition. And that the newer versions, while improved over Texas-made models, don't quite compare. Horn players generally agree that the earlier 'Elkhart' models-manufactured in Elkhart Indiana between 19-are of superior quality, especially compared to those made in Texas from 1970 to 1986. If you hear a big silky, soaring horn line in the next big block buster film, chances are it was played on an 8D. Especially renown for its prominent role in Hollywood soundtracks, the Conn 8D has a distinctive tone quality that counters what its evangelists consider the more stuffy Geyer style horns. First manufactured in 1937, the Conn 8D is a Kruspe-style horn that quickly established itself as one of the top models for professional hornists in America.
