WTB: Older King Sousa

Post by Captain Sousie »

Does anyone have a playable older King sousaphone c.1960-1990 in at bad to fair shape that they would be willing to let go of for cheap? I need it to play fairly well but it can look like it got run over by a Mack truck. I am also looking for an old H.N. White King sousa in silver plate along the same reqs as above.

Thanks in advance,
Sousie

By the way, if you have any old king mouthpieces (the funky lookin' kind) for cheap, I am looking for those too.

Thanks,
Sousie

I've played Frank's horn and it is a great horn. Very resonant and the bell rings very nicely. A great buy for anyone looking for a sousaphone.
