This is a Gen II Conn 62H with Greenhoe valve set. Yes, a real Greenhoe valve set! Greenhoe sent valve sections to Conn, who assembled them with the stock Conn 62H parts to make what I think is the best stock 62H that has been produced. Horn consists of the stock 62H red bell, red tuning slide, Greenhoe valve set, and Conn SL6262 (single bore) slide with D leadpipe. I have been playing this horn nonstop in professional settings for the last couple weeks. It is better than my main horn in many respects- short valve throw, fast response, more projection, more support in the upper register, etc. I play Thayers usually, but these Greenhoe valves feel very good. Better than any stock rotors, and better than many fancy rotors! I recently compared this to a friend’s Greenhoe modified 62H (parts sent to Greenhoe for assembly, the other way around). The horn is not in perfect shape- the slide has some dings, mostly in the crook, and something in one of the outers. Honestly, I haven’t noticed in any huge way and it plays great. I would say the action is a solid 7.5/10 with Yamaha lube. Just replaced the spit valve cork. Bell section also has a couple small dings and lacquer loss. The bell itself shows signs of perhaps repair or being stored in an Altieri bag… I’m not sure, since it is completely square and true across the bell rim and doesn’t seem soft from any work. In any case, it responds very well and sounds great. Valves are quick and quiet, I cleaned them and oiled them with Ultra Pure oils.
