From Conn: 

"The story of the C.G. Conn 88H trombone ultimately begins in 1875 with the vision and determination of one man: Colonel C.G. Conn. Founding a band instrument manufacturing company in the small town of Elkhart, Indiana, C.G. Conn quickly became known for his innovative brass designs and became the largest producer of trombones in the United States and earned the lasting reputation as "America's trombone house." Carrying on this tradition, the 88H is recognized for its unique tone color and refusal to "break up" even at the most extreme dynamics making it one of the most widely used professional symphonic trombones in the world. The C.G. Conn 88H series. Trombones with a future as bright as their past.

The C.G. Conn 88H Symphony trombone features a .547" primary bore combined with a .562" bore traditional wrap F attachment that offers outstanding clarity and projection. The chrome plated nickel silver inner handslide tubes provide the ideal surface for smooth and quick handslide action. The rose brass material used in the professional bell and handslide material produces a deep, warm resonant sound while the clear lacquer finish adds a subtle warmth overall. The C.G. Conn 88H professional trombone is ideal for both symphonic and solo performance."

Conn's 88H trombone has been a popular and reliable horn for many, many years. This one in particular has seen some use, but that only speaks to the quality of horn we have here! Any cosmetic blemishes found on the horn are far surpassed by the tone and response you get from this trombone. There is lacquer wear throughout the instrument, particularly at high contact points on the slide, but don't let that stop you from trying out this wonderful instrument.

Our professional brass tech gave this instrument an ultrasonic cleaning and removed a few dents from the slide. It was then reassembled, lubricated, and given a final playtest where it was found to be in great playing condition.
