Hello, I'm looking to purchase a King/Conn Jumbo sousaphone or a King pit tuba.
For jumbo sousaphone...

• -Preferably silver but brass is just as good
  -Any condition
  -Preferably four valves(three is okay)
  -Playable

Feel free to email me at cllectr26@gmail.com" target="_blank or comment below.

Yep, I know about the four valve jumbos by king, I've seen your videos and the one you used to have was very neet. I actualy considered buying from you when you had it for sale on ebay. Thanks for the tip.

The OP/owner says it isn't the 'Jumbo' Buescher, but the 5/4 size (like the Conn 20k, Yamaha 411, etc.)
But since it has a 30" bell and .770" valve bore, it might as well be a 'hybrid' 5/4 - 6/4 sousa. It looks awesome, has 4 pistons, and the price seems very fair

There is a 1924 C.G. Conn 46k Grand Jumbo Sousaphone FS on Facebook marketplace for $5800 in Moreno Valley Calif

As of right now, I have already had someone offer to sell me a King Jumbo Sousaphone. If all goes well, then I will most likely go with that one, but I am still going to look at other options just encase I change my mind. I appreciate all the help and tips that people have sent me, and all of the generous offers that I have received. Thank you for all of these great opportunities to own such majestic instruments.

Which reminds me that there's a guy in Texas with a 3v King Jumbo that was trying to sell his a while back...

Do you know what happened with that?

I had already contacted that guy he is talking about. We are currently discussing it.

There is this guy in Central New Jersey who has a Conn for $2500.

Do you know what is the bell diameter of this?

28" - Grand Jumbo Conn, model 46K. Looks like it may have been the one Steve had, which made it's way through Harv's Happy Horns or through Lee Stofer (can't remember which). Steve had both a brass one and the silver one (that lost has for sale), when I bought his silver Conn.

The craigslist ad looks to be the same one from a long time ago at Steve's place.

The only 46K that I played was loaned to me for one church service in Michigan.

I own a 4-valve Conn Grand Jumbo 48K--still play it for gigs and love its sound.
