Do you have a King brass sousaphone body with no valve section that you won't be using?

[bloke]

Prefer no patches and no refinishing. I understand it's going to be dented.

If you have such, what would you like me to barter for it ...or what price do you think you'd like to put on it?

- I don't need a bell.
- I don't need a valve section.
- I'd like to have the body from the body elbow all the way around including the fourth branch which is the one that (though tapered) is approximately an inch or so in diameter.

I might actually have a couple of the body sections up in the bloke attic. If I find a couple of King sousaphone body sections up there, I'll bring them down, snap a picture of them, and show what I could do without.

If you are in need of some repair work on another instrument, maybe we could work something out that way...??

EDIT...

Rumaging around there for just a moment, I actually came up with this (so far)...

...so I suppose I'm down to needing branches #'s 2, 3, and 4...

Rummaging around a bit more, I found a genuine King 4th branch, and a Conn 3rd branch which (reluctantly) I could re-taper and re-curve to fit a King...

...so technically...

...I'm down to needing a King 2nd branch and a King 3rd branch.
