WTB - Barcone Sousa-Shaped Baritone

Post by Dan Schultz »

I'm looking for one of the sousaphone shaped baritones. Don't care if it's a Barcone or other make. Prefer a 'beater 'cause I can fix 'em. I don't care about the valves. Basically... all I want is the bell and body.

I have a couple of barcone-sized sousaphones out in the garage.
They came from an elementary program.
I recall one is Eb and one is either Bb or BBb, but I won’t get out there until tomorrow to dig ‘em out and check. Gigs today...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Don't know what you need it for, but I found them and they are those Kris Kratt "mini" sousaphones.
BBb and Eb.
The Eb seemed about 21" OD for the body with a 19" bell.
The bell joint was about 3 1/2" OD on the female side.
I've got 1 neck between the two and I didn't even look at the BBb too closely, although it's very similar in size.

What I'm shooting for is a very large-ish F horn type of horn in Bb with four pistons or rotors. I probably need to start with a Bb mini-sousi to get the tapers to work with a valve section of about a .600" bore. Thanks for having a look.
