Sold: Satin Silver Conn 20K
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2024 1:00 am
Here's a 1970 satin silver Conn 20K sousaphone (26" bell, short travel pistons), with neck and two bits.
This is in overall nice shape and it works great, but I don't use it and don't feel like I'm about to, so someone else should get a chance to enjoy it. The valves are fast and well aligned. The tuba is easy to play and well behaved. Other than being tarnished, the neck and bits are in good condition and fit well.
$2400, near Austin, TX.
There are more pictures here.
A couple years ago I had the bashed in bottom bow fixed. I was really happy with how that turned out. These pictures show where big dents used to be, and they also show that I ran out of enthusiasm for polishing before I did all the valves and small tubing. The slides are great; they're just not shiny.
