I just put a Martin medium sousa on ebay with
Make an offer.
I think it needs different stems or felts, or a combination of those. It plays & the playability improves when I fiddle with the caps & buttons.

Re: martin sousaphone
Probably an easy fix to align those pistons. The Martin top caps don't tighten down flat on top of the casing but rather tighten down against a step on the outside of the casing. You can't use one of those little tool things to measure things out and need to do a visual with a mirror or borescope.

$801 martin sousaphone
I just adjusted the price down. It might need different stems or caps but I don't know.
You can see in the video that it is not a major undertaking to get this up & parade (or whatever) ready.
