WTB: King Sousaphone Bits

Post by Pakins51 »

I am looking for some used King Sousaphone bits, I’d prefer them to be satin silver but that’s not a necessity.

Remember that King bits are not like Conn bits. King bits are not interchangeable as are Conn bits. Each bit of a pair of King bits has a slightly different male and female end, with one for the mouthpiece and the other into the gooseneck.

I completely understand attempting to save (??) $40 (or whatever) dollars, but

- People aren't really interested in selling their tuning bits.
- KING tuning bits (IN PARTICULAR) usually LEAK when (even slightly) dinged up.
