Conn Director
A Director-line student trombone from C.G. Conn — the same student line already documented on this site for Conn's Bb Director trumpet — sold with a case as a straight (no F attachment) beginner tenor trombone. Not to be confused with Conn's flagship 88H, a $3,500+ professional symphonic model built for a completely different tier of player.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Carries the Conn name (in continuous production since 1875, per the brand's own materials) at a beginner-tier price point, consistent with this site's existing Conn Director trumpet.
Weaknesses
- No hands-on or independent third-party expert playability assessment was located for this specific model in this research pass; detailed bore/bell specifications were not confirmed for this specific Director trombone SKU beyond the retailer listing.
Playability and construction
Not assessed hands-on — this review is based on specification and market analysis (see the badge above), so no subjective playing-feel claim (response, intonation tendencies, resistance) is made here. See the Verdict below for what this assessment is and isn't.
