Fs or trade King BBb Sousaphone

Post by Joemac »

King BBb Sousaphone from the 1960's I believe. It's got it's share of dings, lacquer wear and old repairs but it's a very solid, great playing and sounding horn. Just had it chem cleaned. All the slides move freely. Looking to get $1200. Located in Cambridge mass. Would prefer not to ship as I've never shipped one before but I'm willing to drive to meet someone. Old King wooden case included. Not in great shape but it made it through 2 flights recently without any issues. May be interested in trading for a lap tuba. I've been playing a King 1241 that's been loaned to me. Would like to replace the sousaphone with one of those. I'm only selling because my shoulder doesn't do well with 26 lbs on it. Neck and bits included. Feel free to pm any questions. Thanks. Adding pics now.

Is this still for sale? I'd be interested! (Granted the post looks like it's been stagnant for over 6 months, so it probably is long gone by now, but...)
My horn: Jupiter 378 BBb 3/4 Tuba, 3 valves
Currently borrowing: Martin Elkhart BBb 4/4 Tuba, 3 valves, silver-plated brass
