Conn

Description

The Conn 11DNS Symphony Series Double Horn with a detachable bell brings modern ergonomics and classic Geyer-inspired tone to players who need both projection and portability. Built around a modified Geyer-taper mouthpipe, the horn offers an open, responsive feel that encourages clean articulation and nuanced dynamic control. Its 12" medium-throat yellow brass bell provides compact warmth with enough presence to carry through ensembles, and the detachable design makes transport easier for touring musicians and students. Nickel-silver slide tubes add long-term durability, CNC machining ensures precise fit between horn and mouthpiece, and a reversible fourth rotor supports flexible switching between F/Bb and Bb/F setups. With an adjustable finger hook, mouthpipe water key and lacquer finish highlighting refined bracing, the 11DNS is engineered for comfort, projection and dependable performance across rehearsals and stage work.

Conn Craftsmanship Enhances Comfort and Consistency

Players who value reliable response and balanced ergonomics will find the 11DNS easy to adapt to their technique. The adjustable finger hook and optimized F-branch bracing reduce hand strain during extended sessions, while nickel-silver slide tubes maintain smooth action through years of use. The detachable bell not only simplifies travel but also allows for consistent assembly and secure fit, giving players confidence in every performance setting. With string linkage, precise rotor action and focused tonal character, this model delivers consistency and expressive range for demanding musicians who need both mobility and symphonic-level control.
