I’m looking for a Jumbo Sous with a bell of 30+ inches

Post by AaronC1901 »

I know these were made by Buescher, King, Martin, and Holton. I’ve heard that they were available by special order from Conn, but I haven’t seen any examples besides the Conn 50th anniversary sousaphone. The brand really isn’t important to me, it just has to be a sousaphone in any condition with a bell flair that is at least 30 inches.

I know of that one. I’m reeally looking for a Holton or a Conn with a non-standard bell size.
