Re: WTB Eb Sousaphone Bit
I just came across one that is for a smaller shank than “American”, it’s silver.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: WTB Eb Sousaphone Bit
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!

Re: WTB Eb Sousaphone Bit
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.
