For decades the Conn 8D ruled the horn world in the 'Kruspe' wrap market - but things have changed. Other makers have upped the ante with horns that play much easier than the 8D and without the typical intonation issues.
This is a lacquered Nickel Silver Hoyer 6801. It has the new minibal linkages (no more broken strings) which are silent and efficient. It's in gorgeous condition with only a couple tiny dings in it - other than that it's almost perfect (a few slight lacquer scratches). These horns are known for a dark focused sound - and they project gorgeously in all registers. This model currently sells for over $7800!@!!!!!! Save yourself $2700! (that's a nice long vacation somewhere!).
All this PLUS the horn comes with a Marcus Bonna Backpack model case. (the 1st F slide gets removed when the horn is put away).
