C.G. Conn 88HCL Professional Model Tenor Trombone Outfit

Get Time-Honored Craftsmanship With The Conn 88HCL Professional Model Tenor Trombone Outfit

The story of the Conn 88H trombone ultimately begins in 1875. C.G.Conn quickly became known for his innovative brass designs and became the largest producer of trombones in the United States and earned the lasting reputation as America's trombone house.

Carrying on this tradition, 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 Conn 88H series. Trombones with a future as bright as their past.

The Conn 88HCL Symphony trombone features a .547 inch primary bore combined with a .562 inch bore F attachment that offers outstanding clarity and projection with an open feel.

The open wrap F attachment features the patented CL2000 valve designed by renowned solo trombone artist Christian Lindberg. The unique design is extremely efficient, smooth, and quick and removes any resistance normally found in a traditional rotor valve. It also boasts the shortest throw of any trombone on the market today providing the quickest transition to the F side of the trombone.

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 Conn 88HCL professional trombone is ideal for both symphonic and solo performance.
