Great playing Conn 22k Fiberglass sousaphone with neck and bits. This horn had a recent sonic wash and is ready to play!
Below is information about this sousaphone and era.
A 1960s Conn 22K fiberglass sousaphone is a hybrid instrument that pairs a lightweight fiberglass body with the large-bore, short-stroke valve block of the iconic all-brass Conn 20K.
Key Benefits
- Significantly Lighter Weight: Weighing roughly 23 pounds (compared to heavier all-brass models), it is much easier to carry through long parades and field shows.
- Close to Brass Sound: Unlike smaller fiberglass models that can sound thin or "toilet bowl-like," the 22K retains a surprisingly deep, large-bore tone that closely mimics the classic brass 20K.
- Reduced Bell Ring: The fiberglass and ABS-material build cuts down on the lingering metallic ring that brass bells produce after notes are played.
- Ergonomic Valve Block: It features Conn's renowned short-action valve setup, which offers a fast and responsive feel for marching players.
