| | Sousaphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The sousaphone is a musical instrument that is a tuba often used in a marching band. | | | Thus, the sousaphone can be carried far more easily than a traditional concert tuba, while still retaining the tuba sound. | | | Sousa wanted a tuba that would send sound upward and over the band with a full warm tone, rather than the directional helicons. |

| | "Sousaphones are the bass of the band," Marinakis says. | | | During the "battle," competing bands are allowed to join in if the performing band plays a song they know. | | | But while they lack intricate fingering, sousaphones tip the scales in sheer mass, weighing 35 pounds. |

| | Both of these sousaphones are in Eb, which means that in spite of appearances the pipe if you unrolled it would be about the same length for both. | | | They were all good buys at what I paid, but only one of them is "special" in the sense that you couldn't run down to Dillon Music and get a better one any day of the week. | | | The bottom of the range is 8 semi-tones lower than the bottom of the euphonium's range and a four-valve euphonium can reach all of a three-valve Eb tuba's range. |
