FS: Besson 2-20 Sousaphone in CC

I bought this CC brass sousaphone for a special music project that required me to play a sousaphone. The gig fell through before it began, and I never had the opportunity to perform on the horn. Dan Schultz did the marvelous engineering work on this horn, including dent removal, repositioning of the main tuning slide, and cutting the valve tuning slides. Dan did a mighty fine job converting this horn! Sadly, I have only played the horn the day I picked it up from Dan at his house. Please don't ask me to compare it to other instruments; I have not played it enough to give an honest answer. You are welcome to come to my home, play it, and see it for yourself.

SKB Sousa case included. The case is in poor condition, but it is good enough to protect the instrument but is not adequate for shipping.

Don't wait—this is one of a kind. Priced to sell quickly at $3000, picked up in Lynchburg, VA. PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, and greenback dollars cash are acceptable forms of payment.

I'm genuinely interested. Any chance you could record a quick video of a C maj scale so I can hear the baseline intonation on the horn? If it's mostly in tune to itself, I could meet you halfway in Charlotte, NC to test play and hopefully purchase. What do you think?

I sent you a PM with links to the videos. Also a message about possibly meeting in Savannah this weekend.
