Re: 1928 King Sousaphone
Mine's a 1930 (which I'm offering for sale as well).
What's really cool are that ALL of the upper return bows are actually SLIDES.
Expect this thing to weigh (not "something like"...which means "24 or so") ACTUALLY 30 pounds.
My pistons are copper (only barely worn...ie. excellent) so the pistons on that two-years-older-one may be as well.
The buyer of this eBay one will be looking for tuning bits (as those are CONN tuning bits), but could likely SELL the CONN bits, and then BUY King bits.
