Based on correspondence, the 4 valve King sousaphone Alfred mentioned way down the board is in fact a rather rare horn: a model # 1271 King Giant in what is apparently very good condition except for the tarnish, corks and felts.

In between the Conn 20K/24K/38K/40K and the Conn Jumbo 42K/48K in size, with a 28" bell and a .750" bore, these were unusual horns and not many seem to have survived.
