DEMO C.G. CONN MODEL 8DS DOUBLE HORN w/DETACHABLE BELL
Features of the CONN 8DS double horn:
\"CONNstellation\" - Key of F/Bb, .468\" bore, 12.25\" large throat bell, all nickel, tapered rotors and bearings, fully mechanical change valve, adjustable levers, clear lacquer, detachable bell, compact backpack case.
100% MADE IN AMERICA.
This one is a new horn that\'s never been sold or rented, but it has been shown at a couple of conventions and is officially a \"demo\". Condition is mint, perfect, with no dings, scratches, or blemishes.
The valve rotors are tight and fast.
Conn\'s legendary model 8D set the standard for large bell American horns and has been a favorite among professional horn players for over half a century. The detachable bell wasn\'t an option in the early days of the 8D, but is almost a necessity for modern musicians who travel frequently.
Suggested retail price for a new Conn 8DS double horn is now $8,112, with a street price of $5,439.
This superb demo Conn 8DS is a best buy at $4,675!
You will have the opportunity to play this instrument at the Mid-South Horn Workshop at Southeast Missouri State Univerisity in Cape Girardeau, MO from March 17th to the 19th. Stop by our booth to try this horn and others!

Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We\'ve been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 18 employees including eight of the finest repair technicians in the country.
Wichita Band\'s service warranty is the same as it\'s been for more than thirty years:
ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It\'s in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace, whichever in our estimation is the more advisable, pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees.
Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially free for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It\'s our service after the sale promise and has been since 1953!
In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band\'s service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer. We collect NO SALES TAX, unless you\'re lucky enough to live in Kansas. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance and must pre-pay back to us any freight and insurance charges on returned equipment.
International shipping is available.
We\'re happy to send any instrument with a 5 day return privilege, but ask the prospective buyer to pay shipping both ways and to reimburse us for restocking and clean-up costs (2.95% on credit card transactions/no fees on PayPal transactions) on any returned instrument.
Returned items will be refunded within 2 weeks of receiving the item.
VISA/MASTERCARD/DISCOVER/PAYPAL ACCEPTED. Credit cards not accepted from some countries and we must ship to the credit card billing address with exceptions made at our discretion.
We\'re happy to respond to any and all questions about flutes and other musical instruments, but please don\'t write and ask What\'s granny\'s mellophone worth?. Do an search and you\'ll learn more than we\'ll be able to tell you.
