Hello,
I have a Conn 8DR and can assure you that the leadpipe, first branch, and
complete bell are completely rose brass. I have friends with rose brass Holton
horns as well, and those are also genuine rose brass. Possibly, people were
being confused because when the laquer wears off of rose
I have seen a couple Conn horns with the rose coloring
peeling. I have also heard this is true from
repairmen.
Now, maybe Conn changed their process in the last few
years? I know that people had these problems in the
early 2000, or late 90s.

Hi Luke,
This is incorrect. I think you must have seen 8DY bells. The 8DR horn has a
red brass bell, 1st branch, and mouthpipe. All other components are nickel

d's.
I have the scores somewhere but can't start looking for them till tomorrow

If no-one else has helped by then, contact me privately and I'll see what I
can do.
cheers,

There is no real rose brass in a 8-D. The bell tails are made in one piece and
shipped to Chuck Ward. He cuts the bell tails, installs the rings, and ships
them back to Conn. They are regular brass with gold colored laquer. I saw it
with my own eyes when I was in his shop.

Hi folks,
Long time no post!
Have a quick question for you.
I've been booked to play first in "Solomon" next year, but I'm having
trouble getting any further details. Can't get hold of a full score or
parts, only vocal score.
I've found "Salomo" in an excerpt book with a couple of choruses (Ho
