Cheap sousa for a fat guy!

[Riley]

Hey guys, i'm looking for a fairly cheap sousaphone to practice with for both concert and marching band. I'm a very large guy, so i want something that has a little extra belly room. My budget would probably be around $1,500 to $2,000. I've looked around at a lot of music shops and online and i can't seem to find one that is cheap enough or big enough. I don't care if it's new or used, but the cheaper the better. As long as it's big, brass, sounds nice, and cheap it's all good. I play on 20-30 year old Yamaha YBB-321's at school, so appearance isn't an issue for me.

Thanks,
Riley

If you can find one, look for an older 1950's Olds & Son's horn. They have a huge wrap and the best sound I've ever heard from a Sousaphone.

You might check out some of the new Chinese copies of the Conn 20K. They are within your budget.
