I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fumapalooza, I smell the stench of a fiberglass sousa.

I want to get my hands on those last two raincatchers on the right in the section photo. Those things are massive!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

According to the Conn Loyalist web page, those two 4-valve BBb "Grand Jumbo" (Conn's advertising term) raincatchers with 24" upright bells were referred to as the model 44K.Tubajug wrote:I want to get my hands on those last two raincatchers on the right in the section photo.

The comparable Grand Jumbo sousaphone with a 28" forward bell is the model 48K.
I have seen and played only one 44K. It is a magnificent sounding specimen.
