I have just recently accquired an early '50s King sousaphone in satin silver. The neck that came with it has a stretched out receiver so the bits don't fit in how they should. I can put my conn helleberg in it without bits and it takes the ENTIRE shank just to give you an idea of how enlarged it is. The new king necks are different from the old ones. My question is will this old king take a CONN mouthpipe or is there some other solution out there?

Those of you who have expertise in this area would be a great help before I go out and spend a bunch of money on a new pipe and find out it's all wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Bill
