What is this sousaphone ?

Post by itipou »

Hello,

I got this sousaphone for 50€. Anyone knows what brand it is ? It's missing a part so I could'nt try it yet.

Cheers,

Itipou

Thomann has reasonable priced bits for the Conn. Unfortunately I don't see a neck on their site. Just contact them. Maybe they can offer it too.

Blue is my favorite color. I am envious, both to color and great condition.
