...a really nice King fiberglass sousaphone PLUS an EXTRA BRASS BELL (TWO BELLS included) to fit it (brass bell for: concert season? games? competitions?...whatever) AND and SOUSAPHONE CHAIR...

...all for $1495 + shipping? (probably UPS-able in three cartons)

- The finish on the white fiberglas is AAAAA.
- The lacquer on the valve section is AA (some speckles but quite intact - shiny and no dents).
- This instrument has the newer "almost indestructable" bracing system, but is just old enough to have METAL valve guides. Pistons are like new.
- The neck, bits, and Blessing 18 mouthpiece are new.
- The lacquer on the EXTRA BRASS BELL is AA - intact, shiny, with scratches - any dents removed.
- again, SOUSAPHONE CHAIR INCLUDED (good condition)

We fixed this up for a band director who just took over a private school. They changed their mind, spent more money, and bought a 3/4 Weril instead.

Price comparisons located on the internet:

The cheapest price for a NEW King fiberglass sousaphone is $2750 WITHOUT the brass bell and WITHOUT the sousaphone chair.

The cheapest price for a "J-funk" brand of fiberglass sousaphone NEW with the brass bell is $2300, but it does NOT include the fiberglass bell - and, of course, no sousaphone chair.
