Conn 11DN is a professional CONNstellation double horn that places Conn's established horn-making tradition in a Geyer-wrap design.

The lacquer remains bright and glossy overall, with fine scratches, light scuffs, and localized tarnish, oxidation, and handling wear around the valve and linkage section. A shallow crease is present on the upper outer wrap, and an acide bleed is visible at a ferrule near the leadpipe brace. The fitted case has minor wear near a handle attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho the 11DN Double French Horn Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11DN is suited to professional players, advanced conservatory students, and experienced ensemble musicians who prefer the direct response and centered tonal concept associated with a Geyer-wrap horn. Its medium-throat yellow brass bell offers a different playing concept from Conn's large-throat, nickel silver 8D, making the 11DN particularly relevant for players seeking clarity, projection, and an efficient orchestral response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About the C.G. Conn 11DN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Conn 11DN differ from the Conn 8D?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11DN uses a Geyer wrap, a medium-throat yellow brass bell, and nickel silver mouthpipe and slide tubing. The 8D uses a Kruspe wrap, a large-throat bell, and all-nickel-silver construction. These designs offer distinct response, resistance, and tonal concepts rather than a simple difference in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the reversible F\/Bb configuration mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe change-valve configuration can be set so the horn stands in F or Bb when the thumb lever is at rest. This allows a technician to configure the instrument according to the player's preferred valve orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of player typically chooses the 11DN?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11DN is intended for an advanced or professional horn player who wants Conn's professional construction in a Geyer-wrap format. It is well suited to orchestral, chamber, solo, and conservatory playing where a centered sound and articulate response are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/connlogo\/connlogo0.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/connlogo\/connlogoThumb0.jpg\" alt=\"Conn Logo\" align=\"middle\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are proud to be an authorized C.G.
