Also, try the. I would suggest waiting for another earlier one. You should be able to get an earlier 6D for about the same money, and no questionable workmanship. They didn't just leave all the parts in Elkhart, you know? Everything went to Texas. Engraved bells, valves, everything. So it could have tapered valves and say Elkhart, but be assembled by someone on their first day at the plant in Texas and play like ass.

It could play wonderfully. Texas is rubbish and Elkhart is incredible is exaggeration. The valve tapering is a big issue, and the Texas horns generally don't play as well, but they aren't worthless.

Conn Elkhart French Horn Serial Numbers

They seem to tell everything you need to know.

I was trying to help a friend of mine figure out a serial number on his 8D, too. His doesn't have the letters in front either, & I know it is an older horn. Mine is a '79.

The repairman who works on my middle school instruments told me how to find out what MY serial number meant, so I'll relate that. Here goes (by the way, this is a fabricated number as an example, so if it's your horn, it's only a coincidence!): GE920072 First letter at front = the decade (G is the 1970s) Second letter at front = the month (E is May--5th letter, 5th month) First single digit = year (9 is 1979) Next single digit = 'French horn group' Last four digits = the number of the horn that was built that month (0072 would be the 72nd horn built) Hope this helps somewhat, and if you want me to ask the repairman about the older numbers, let me know!
