WTB: Your old beat up unplayable Sousaphone

Hey Tubenet!

Asking for a friend that does metal sculpture. He's been commissioned to do a piece for the Portland Trailblazers. Doesn't need to play, just needs to be recognizable as a sousaphone. I know someone out there has a few too many "project" horns sitting around. Looking to spend 300-400 shipped.

Thanks in advance!

I have a deal for you....

I have some sousaphone parts that are pretty awful...not a full sousaphone but most of the branches of the body. (no valves, no bell) The branches are cracked up and really beyond being useful for a real instrument. I used them to practice learning silver soldering/brazing. You can have it for free. If you can get to Springfield, MA.

If not, I'd want the shipping to be covered + $20 for the box/materials/time to send it out. Everything is unsoldered, so I can send it in a more normal sized box.

PM me if you'd like them.

I have a sousaphone bell and a most of a valve cluster - not a complete sousa, but...?

I live in Vancouver, Washington, so I am local and can meet in Portland - no shipping. I have attached some images. Let me know if you are interested or not? Thanks - Matt
