I don't know the exact weight, but the 20K is definitely heavier than most other sousaphones. The only heavier horns would be the no longer made "jumbo" sousaphones, that weighed 50 lbs or more. Of coure 4 valve horns weigh more and would approach the weight of a 3 valve 20K. I think that the Kings, especially the older ones, are great sounding horns, but I still prefer the 20K sound. My King bell was one piece and the 20K is 2 piece, but I don't think that really matters. What matters is response, sound, and intonation.
