Hey kids,

I just bought a house and need to put in a new bathroom, so something's got to go.
I'm concidering putting my old Sousa up on the block, but I'd let you one you folks have a crack at it before I stoop to eBay.

When I was at the Amati/Denak shop in Prauge last Spring I described this horn, but the folks ther have no record of sosuaphone production. It's body is identical to the ovalish, 4 rotary valve Kaiser BBb helicon, 'ceptin' that the bore get slimmer and then hook to a HUGE Sousa bell. It's such and akward fit that it won't fit in any case I can find. So as cool as it is, and the sound is incredible, I still love my helicon more (and I have a travel case for it.)

If you are interested, please pop me and email offline and I'll get you dome jpegs. (Don't know what to ask for it as of yet, as it appears to be the only one in captivity.)
