I would request that you post a higher resolution picture of your treasure.

The avatar simply lacks detail.

cheers,

Find some place to host the picture, such as www.photobucket.com, and then link to that picture using either a link or the IMG tags on the Tubenet forum screen.

Works best if you size the photo to about 700 pixels wide.

da sousa and I have exchanged photos of our satin gold Conn 38K sousaphones via email, so I can post photos for him now. So.... here are one of his 1927 satin gold 38K and one of his silver 20K and the 38K side by side:

Both very nice looking horns.

The VERY cool thing is that both of our gold sousas were made in 1927. I guess gold plating was very popular that year? Only mine has a 24" bell while da sousa's has a 26" bell.

Very nice! How heavy is that thing?

I like the shot of the sousa's "parked" with the bicycles.
