FS: Satin Silver Conn 20K
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2024 3:45 pm
Here's a 1970 satin silver Conn 20K sousaphone (26" bell, short travel pistons), with neck and two bits.
This is in overall nice shape and it works great, but I don't use it and don't feel like I'm about to, so someone else should get a chance to enjoy it. The valves are fast and well aligned. As I remarked in another thread, it's very easy to play. Other than being tarnished, the neck and bits are in good condition and fit well.
$2400, near Austin, TX.
There are more pictures here.
A couple years ago I had the bashed in bottom bow fixed. I was really happy with how that turned out. These pictures show where big dents used to be, and they also show that I ran out of enthusiasm for polishing before I did all the valves and small tubing. The slides are great; they're just not shiny.
