Description
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.
