Any idea what this is? No cross-brace, but a reinforced guard wire on the bottom. Was described to me as a neck but it looks like it has a nickel silver receiver, so maybe something for a helicon / not requiring bits...? Fits in a Conn sousaphone receiver. No maker name or number.

Re: Identify this sousa (helicon?) neck
Smells like conn.. maybe custom, and maybe custom for an E flat.
If you get your calipers and measure that insertion part diameter, you can check back to the sousaphone neck chart.
