I’m selling a beautifully-restored 1966 Conn 14K “Naked Lady” BBb sousaphone, made in Elkhardt, Indiana, in 1966, serial number H26112. Comes with MTS hard case in excellent condition, as well as two tuning bits and a neck, all in like-new condition. I’ll also throw in a Helleberg or Miraphone TU23 mouthpiece if you want; both are in excellent condition.

Asking price reduced to $2600. (Was asking $2900.) Located in Olympia, WA

Why am I selling? I will be 70 soon, and don’t do the parade thing anymore; and the New Orleans jazz group I used to play in disbanded about a year ago.

I posted this horn on eBay as an auction due to an overwhelming lack of enthusiasm on this forum so far.

Current eBay bid is $2050.

That thing is beautiful!!! Who did the restoration? If I was in the market for a sousaphone this would be mine.

Thanks John! Can't claim credit. The work was done by George Borodi, in Cleveland. He does an impressive job.
