WTB Tuning bit for Buescher silver plated Eb sousaphone.

I just came across one that is for a smaller shank than “American”, it’s silver.

I don't seem to be able to private message you, so maybe you could private message me please.

I think the moderators disabled private messaging up to certain point for newly formed accounts to deter scammers.

Not sure what the specifics are, i think if it is urgent, provide an alternative mode of contact? If not, perhaps participate in a discussion or two if it is post based, or wait if it is time based?

Kudos on a good name by the way.

I am curious, as i guess i have seen mostly Eb Buescher helicons and BBb sousaphones (which original necks are tall and rare?)

Please share how the Eb sousa works once you have tracked down bits!

Here are a few pictures of my Buescher Eb. The S/N places it at 1929. The goose neck has a thumb screw to tighten the tuning bit, so I think the bit needs to be a non tapered shaft. I also need a thumb screw too.

The mouthpiece shaft measurements are .50 at the end and .57 about 2/3 up the shaft.

Still wanting to buy. Please check your junk drawer and see if you can find one.
