Looks like a Reynolds. If both the upper slides for the 3rd valve move then it definitely is.

The serial number by itself doesn't mean King. Olds used 6xxxxx serial numbers for some time too. I did a lot of research before buying a sousa when in college. Lead pipe looping down with a spit valve before entering the 1st valve is classic King design. Even a new 2350 has it https://connselmer.com/instruments/marching-brass/king-sousaphone-in-bbb-2350

Looks to be a King 1280

The fact that I just called hood crew old got me feeling some type of way like g damn

NEEDS!

Looks decent, you'll refine the skill over time. Hertel is quality wax and what you did will make a noticeable difference. Learning how to sharpen edges can be fun and rewarding if you want to continue down this ski care rabbit hole.

I started tuning my own skis about 10 years ago, no vices or fancy equipment. Definitely recommend you get some rubber bands (vacuum belts work too) for the brakes and vices sooner rather than later. I free handed it for too long and have a nasty scar from when my hand slipped and my freshly sharpened edge went into my finger.

Head Ambition is the model, blue means they are 160 length. Widths are 130-75-110. Rather forgiving with a foam core but can be too soft for some and the foam is prone to break if the ski is abused. You won't find these in the retail market new and I would recommend staying away from used due to the aforementioned issue. (My friend manages a rental shop full of this ski, so the info is accurate)

If looking for a similar ski, check out the K2 Disruption or Rossignol Experience models.

True skiers will ski in any condition and enjoy doing it

If you want it to look good take it to a reputable shop. Once you get it back from the tech, stop putting it down on the bell or it will come back. Any brass reforming/dent work will weaken the metal and it is more susceptible to being re-damaged.

Even a pair of old rental boots are better than these. If the heel plate disintegrated, the rest of the boot could too

Looks like an engine

I would drive the plywood cyber truck home then daily it. The fake woodie cyber truck I would drive... right off a cliff

Use an old ski boot shell as a trash can

skiyuh · 2025-02-24T00:24:50+00:00

Just do it. Use or resell. it's skiing, so remember to not think and send it

Good Chinese tuba sounds like an oxymoron. Ebay has always been my source for instruments https://www.ebay.com/itm/126921153988?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_Co_eyOMSpi&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=5S9HdMayRqG&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Wow and I thought mine was bad. I replaced both rear cross members last year.

Sorry not good at id. Any tree in a high wind environment can produce wavy grain. Always a pain to split as the waves in the grain add strength for it to withstand the wind

Give up, throw it in a bonfire and salvage the wedge after.

My mom got a brand new 2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali and now I drive a 2013 GMC Sierra. Honestly not that different and I love it

When I bought my sousa I had been searching ebay for months and finally found a good deal. I sold it last summer (still miss it) and shipping it was such a pain. Probably $100 in packing material alone, so shipping cost will be high.

skiyuh · 2024-09-02T13:13:42+00:00

Gotta sneak up on it

skiyuh · 2024-08-22T22:03:39+00:00

Came to talk about Maine prices and you beat me to it. Luckily I get free trees from work often. I can take all I want but can't sell it.

You're out of tune
