From Conn: 

...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 is a reliable and popular horn. This horn has minor cosmetic blemishes, such as scratches and wear in the lacquer, most notably among the tuning slide crook and handslide grip, all of which are expected for a horn of its age. The handslide has some signs of use in the lacquer, but slides smoothly. This horn also comes with an extra 88H handslide, dating from the 1960s. It is in slightly higher cosmetic condition and slides smoothly. Beyond cosmetics, this horn is in great playing condition.
