A "true" 1/2 size sousa. Very small, but GREAT player. Has been a great dixie companion for years, but I'm getting dangeriously close to owning a Thor, so I'm liquidating!!!! No name anywhere on th beast (probably pan-american)

I know that John Philip Sousa wasn't a tall man, but the post title made me think that someone had discovered a midget descendant.

Once again I bow down to the authorities. After YEARS of owning this horn, I NEVER saw the faint engraving on the inside of the bell. It is indeed an Olds...(old and blind......)

I only use one conn bit (the 2nd one) So again Bloke, yes, for two you would need King bits...(I am an idiot)....

HOWEVER, I did spend weeks finding a good match with the goose. It fits great.....
