The Conn 20K is still the best sousaphone on the market IMO, but Conn no longer makes the 14K. The only brass sousaphones made by UMI today are the Conn 20K and the King 2350 and 2390. The 2390 is essentially the 2350 with both fiberglass and brass bodies and an interchangeable valve section. They also make the Conn 36K and King 2370 fiberglass sousaphones, which are the same horn with different labels.

I love my 1967 20K. It is the horn that my community band director consistently asks me to bring for outdoor concerts, not just because of projection, but because of the sound.
