This 300,000 series Conn 28D was made in 1950, the second year of 28D production! The 28D is revered for its powerful and broad timbre, while still having the flashy sounds of an 8D. Enjoy the best of both worlds with this all original 28D! A recent valve rebuild now brings this timeless American classic to near perfect compression of 0.3. With a masterful overhaul by Ion Balu in 2026, the bracing has been relieved of all stress, the triggers polished, pitting and dents removed, and the lead pipe and flare completely restored. No red rot to be found.
The horn is not without its faults – and it must be mentioned the current flare is very thin.
