Serial number 41730. Sold as is.On Jul-08-19 at 06:49:00 PDT, seller added the following information:Please note: 1) the mouthpiece is silver-plated
2) please remember that this is a vintage sousaphone (circa 1956? according to the serial number), so it may require some w...ork. While we don't play sousaphone/tuba in our home, we have other brass players who were able to play a simple melody with the instrument. All three valves move freely.
3) some have asked about shipping: from our research, shipping a sousaphone is quite expensive (possibly up to $300). If this is something you'd like me to pursue, please message me and I'll get a more accurate shipping estimate.
Please ask if you have additional questions!
Thanks so much for your interest!

Several have asked if we would ship the sousaphone. I took it to the Fed Ex store today, and they estimated about $350 for packaging materials and shipping. This includes a guarantee that it will safely reach the destination. This estimate was about the same for all three destinations that were requested: California, Arizona, Oregon. The cost might be slightly less if you live closer to Wisconsin.
