Hi all, I do not really have a need/space for this horn so its for sale. I haven't had this sousa for very long and bought it as a project. It has some issues, it needs new valve stems(one broke off and needs to be extracted) and buttons, however all 3 valves and sets of caps(bottom and top) are all still there. It also does not have a neck or bits. Its not missing any of the slides. I'm not entirely sure if the bell is original but it is the right kind so it may be. The wear on the bell is pretty thorough (to put it nicely) however the body of the horn is in really good shape(cosmetic and physical). Overall the horn is in really good physical shape as well, the bell just lacks in the cosmetic division. *no broken joints either* Its really light so it could make for a good parade horn. The pictures I have of it are temporary and will be updated after i give it a much needed polish and cleaning, but that's all i plan on doing at the moment. Would also make for a really good horn if someone found a replacement bell that looks a little nicer.... Or just as a parts horn. Does not really matter to me.

Looking for at least $250/$300 if that's reasonable, but make some offers
