I was looking for a nice Conn14K and during my search I found this Holton sousaphone.

Can anyone tell me whether it's worth to take a drive to test the Holton instead of continuing my search for a conn 14K?

I think I saw the typical branch (circle with triangular shape in the middle) also on another sousaphone, but I can't remember that that was a Holton. Do you know?

Holton's are good, but in my humble opinion, I like the 14K better. If a 14K is what you really want, wait for it. They are worth the wait.

Hi Patrick,

I think is worth coming down here to Düsseldorf and try the Holton. Silke & Alex are the owners of the store, and they actually have some 14K 20K and some other King in their store.

I bought mine there after testing several sousas in there store...They are really nice people and you definitely will find a good sousa there...solomon

Thanks for the advice. I will give the store a call and check wheter they also have a nice 14K and give the holton also a try.
