Conn Advanced Double Horn in F/Bb - CHR512

Designed to blend the legendary response of the classic Conn 8D with player-friendly features, the CHR512 intermediate Kruspe-wrap double horn is built to elevate advancing brass musicians. Featuring an authentic Eastlake-made leadpipe, this instrument delivers an open, manageable feel and precise, focused tone without demanding excessive airflow. Performance features borrowed directly from Conn's professional series—such as a mouthpipe water key, an adjustable finger hook, and a reversible change rotor—provide custom ergonomics and effortless versatility. Hand-inspected and set up by Conn-Selmer technicians in Elkhart, Indiana, the CHR512 is protected by a rugged ABS hard case built to withstand daily student transport.
