Frequently Asked Questions
Conn’s ‘new developed’ F-attachment is noticeably quick and easy to manipulate, minimizing any lag or resistance common with older designs.
The lacquer is a standard offering and while it will benefit from occasional polishing to maintain its shine, it's generally quite durable for regular playing.
The Conn 88HNV has a slightly warmer, more focused tone than the Bach, and a bit more projection than the Yamaha – it occupies a unique sonic space.
