The Conn 11D is a modern French horn that blends innovative engineering with the most desirable characteristics of both Geyer- and Kruspe-style designs. Created over two years in collaboration with top horn players and expert technicians from across the country, the 11DN features a mouthpipe that offers the open feel of the classic 8D while preserving the effortless response found in more compact instruments. Its medium-sized bell delivers the rich, dark tone of the 8D while also providing the brilliance and projection typical of a smaller bell.
Newly designed F branches improve the instrument’s ergonomics and overall balance. Paired with an adjustable finger hook, these updates ensure a comfortable playing experience for a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles.

Pre-owned and fully cleaned and inspected by our world-class shop! Great mechanical condition, and includes a Marcus Bonna case! We noted several spots of red rot along the lead pipe, and at the bottom of the horn along the “top” of the bell tail near the slides. None of the red rot is currently leaking, including the leadpipe with 0 compression loss, but it will become an issue in the future.
