1922 Holton Eb Sousaphone Neck

[dmwingfield]

Hey Folks,

I'm on the hunt for a neck for a 1922 Holton Eb sousaphone (serial 75XXX).
The inner diameter of the receiver in the lower neckpipe is 0.590".
Local repair shops and eBay (so far, at least) have been unable to help.
Any leads are greatly appreciated!

I thank you in advance for your time and attention!

Are you still looking? My 1947 Conn Eb came with a neck that was too large; it wouldn't fully recess into the receiver. I replaced that neck with the proper one and I still have the old one floating around somewhere. If you are still need one, I'll go hunt it up and measure it. Perhaps someone knows how Conn sousaphone neck dia compare to Holtons? Sorry, not sure of my Conn model number, please no abuse for my admitted ignorance of my gear.

Yes, still looking-if you have the time, I'd be much obliged!

Many thanks!

Derek - sorry it took so long to get back to you. I've located my extra gooseneck but it is approximately 0.625" (which is the same as my Conn gooseneck).The shank is 1.750" long, compared to 1.125" for my Conn, I realize now I could have cut it down to fit my horn instead of buying one years ago (DA'OH!), so I guess shank length is an important dimension too.
Perhaps someone else will help you,or PM me your mailing address if you want to try it out anyway.
