Jupiter sousa valve

Post by Hank74 »

I wanted to get a sense from any of you here as to how much would a new Jupiter sousaphone valve cost. I'm talking aobut the valve itself, not the spring or cap. :tuba:

as a repairman... I can buy parts for Jupiter instruments. I haven't dealt with them for some time but I know they do stock quite a few parts in the US at reasonable prices. I'd venture a guess that a piston for a sousaphone would be between $75 and $150 depending on your local dealer. Start here to find an authorized dealer near you: khs-america.com
