I want to hear you about the Conn Giant EEb

Hello,

I am interested in hearing about the experiences you have had or have with the model Conn Giant EEb. I know there are many different models with peculiarities in intonation, muffled sounds and partial flat. But I want to find out if many here have had good experiences with these horns even in orchestral works and in large ensembles.

Again, my quest is to know about the best experiences you have had or have with this amazing horn.

I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to play in a model with 3 valves that I found amazing and I'm seriously considering buying one with 4 valves.

Thanks to all

Call

I had a 1916 4 front vave model when I was a music major. Flat low Eb, super flat D (play 234), sharp Eb in the staff (no fix), sharp D in the staff (play on 4 or 13),... Fantastic, resonant low C, no low B at all, very iffy Bb-A (play that A as open false tone), ok low G. Nice sound, not incredibly clear. Looked cool. :mrgreen:
