Sousaphones, probably one of the least fun brass instruments I am asked to work on. Always damaged, dirty, poorly maintained, always needed back asap. Frustrating design weaknesses and parts that are undersize, prone to failure and replacemnt components that are obsolete, unavailable or excessively overpriced. In this case, I had a salvagable replacement lower leadpipe but yhe trashed and missing braces had to be replaced with sturdy, reinforced and much more durable and better fitting braces that I mad e myself. Just another day at the bench
