C. G. Conn 46K Grand Jumbo sousaphone 01

After a whole month of not playing I try to squeak out a few notes after buying a 46K, before driving back another 1000 miles. Also I'm playing on a dented LM-12, only now have I figured out how to properly orient the mouthpiece to avoid to dent... Still can't stand up in an eight foot room, possibly not in a nine foot either...]
This is awful playing, just awful on my part.

@demivee23 Clearly you didn't read the description. You also don't have a grasp on grammar. Way to go!

nice conn ware can i find one

[Mithosphere]

@deville1bigboy people have them, but they tend to hold on to them until they can't bear the weight. There is a Holton 'jumbo' on Dillon's right now that looks pretty good - cheap too!

@Mithosphere im a tuba player, and i would love to purchase one of these when i get a full time job, and i got two questions: How much do the 46k jumbo sousaphones cost? AND How much does a 46k jumbo sousaphone weigh?

[Mithosphere]

@bloodvein3 Seeing as how CG Conn doesn't make the Grand Jumbo model anymore (not since WWII), you are only going to run across these used. In which case, depending on the condition and if you're dealing with someone who knows what it is, you're looking at somewhere between, say, $1200 and $5000, maybe more.

The weight varies between model and year, some weigh 40 lbs, some weigh 54 lbs. Conn, as far as I can determine, didn't necessarily have a set design - they more or less used what they had.
