Is a Conn saxophone good?

Conn makes a lot of different models. The 50M is an upper-level student horn. It's American made, and much better than Conn's later student models. Truth be told, it's not really a Conn. It's a Vito with Conn engraving. Vito horns are based on Beaugnier French saxophones, and area good design. If you're looking for a solid student horn, the 50M is a good choice.

What is a good professional french horn?

It does depend what you're looking for. Different orchestras play different horns, and different brands of horns feel different to each person. Lawson is precisely made, and are quite rigid in their intonation. Conn is a standard brand (the Conn 8D a standard size), but I think the older ones are better--anything after the mid-1990s, and the quality is quite suspect. Yamaha is a steady brand, it's not fantastic, and it's not awful--it's pretty decent. Schmidt and Alexander are German brands, and being German, are very precise and reliable (though the Lawson is quite consistent as well). Kruspe and Geyer horns are another professional brand. Conn is a big, American sound. The other horns are smaller "wraps" (have smaller bells, etc), so have smaller, brighter sounds. Where are you wanting to play? What level are you at? What feels good to you? All good questions to ask...


Which trigger trombone type is the best?

It's not about what is the best trigger trombone, it's all about preference. It's like asking what the best car is. I would suggest a Bach, a Conn,a Getzen, a Yamaha, a King, or whatever your preference is. I'm guessing, you're talking about a .547 bore horn, which is the most common bore. Two of the most common trigger horns are the Bach 42bo and the Conn 88h for that bore.

Is the French horn from Europe?

It is actually a German invention. I can't even think of a single manufacturer of so called French Horns in France. Most pro level horns are made in Germany such as the Hans Hoyer and Alexander brands, England where Paxman horns are made and the USA where CONN and Holton Horns are made.
