King Souzy and Lee Stofer

Post by kegmcnabb »

Good Morning Campers,

I recently had a playing condition performed on an old King sousaphone I have been dragging around for years. It had considerable dents and wear but it was given to me by my junior high band director, who was also a good friend.

I took it to Lee Stofer and boy, what great work. Lee chem cleaned it, pounded out 99% of the dents, and tweaked it until I now have a GREAT horn with a SWEET sound. What's more, he even threw it in the back of his van while on family vacation so as to meet me halfway between my home and his, thus saving me at least three hours driving. What a great guy.

If you need work done I would HIGHLY recommend Lee.

It's still a heavy bugger, though!
