This old dinosaur is going to be hard to part with, but I'm thinking about getting a helicon so I can play indoors and outdoors while standing.
To my knowledge, the King Jumbo is the largest production sousaphone ever made. A true 6/4 instrument. Big wide sound of course.

30" bell
Bore - 0.81"
Anderson Silver Plating refurbished 10 years ago, according to previous owner.
Comes with gooseneck, tuning bits, shoulder pad. No case.
Four valves. They are smooth and quiet.
Serial number - 78559
Made in 1925!
I'm using the previous owners pictures because I noticed they're better than mine.

I'm located in the Portland, Oregon metro. I can drive a bit to meet you. Will not ship.
I'll also be in Seattle in early May, can bring it up with me.
Will accept cash or cashiers check, no personal checks.
Thanks!

The conn sousaphone is the largest production model in terms of body. King maybe gets it in bore and bell flare. Bump for a cool horn!
