There’s a reason the 88HO keeps showing up in serious sections: it gives you that big, warm Conn color that sits in the middle of the ensemble so naturally—then still has enough clarity to step forward when the part opens up. If you’re chasing a dependable “daily driver” Bb/F tenor that feels familiar the moment you pick it up, this one deserves a close look.
