Dear Folks:
I just picked up two silver Eb sousaphones, one a King, one a Cleveland, probably both from the 1920s. They're in great shape, but they are missing a part I'm embarrassed to admit I've forgotten the name for (I play euphonium). Its the first curved extension piece that comes out of the horn, into which you put the bits, and then the mouthpiece. Is this the "neck"? Anyway, where can I get two of these, used, and silver?
Thanks for the advice...
