Features: Symphony in F/Bb (reversible) .468" (11.89mm) bore 12" (305mm) medium throat yellow brass bell tapered rotors and bearings lacquer finish 7BW mouthpiece deluxe hardshell case. For those preferring a Geyer-style horn (change valve following the main valve cluster) the 11D produces a rich but brilliant sound slightly more open than the 10D. Full warranty. From Conn's website. Equally suited to orchestra, chamber, and solo performance! Flawless craftsmanship and inimitable tone with the following features: key of F/Bb (reversible), Geyer-style, .468" bore, 12" medium-throat yellow brass bell, tapered rotors and bearings, and clear lacquer finish. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Band/and/Orchestra/Brass?sku=463352 The Symphony Alternative Complementing the CONNstellation horns are the C.G. Conn Symphony double horns. These instruments are designed in the Geyer style, with the change valve placed after the main valve cluster. These horns are particularly useful in smaller ensembles and chamber groups, and include the model 10D with a small throat and the 11D with a medium throat. Both horns are made in yellow brass, but are also available with rose brass bells. These horns feature a reversible change valve to accommodate players who are moving from a single Bb horn. J.D. Shaw of the famous Boston Brass quartet said, " . . . accuracy, response, projection, flexibility, and a big sound . . . the Conn 11D has it all." http://www.musiciansfriend.com/document?doc_id=98947&g=bo Carlberg Jones Guanajuato, Gto.
