Aug 13, 2008 - they sound awsome. i would know. its the camra. it is creating an illusion of sound to make it seem like they are blaring. they have perfect harmonization and articulation.

cresentman Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - yeas they are. it is a tuba that john philip sousa made to march with for marching band. its one of the hardest instroments to do marching band with.

Jonnieweller Says:

Aug 19, 2008 - well being a tuba player and a sousaphone player i cant tell you that there is no comparison sure its still a tuba but a sousaphone sux they all sound like a piece of crap.i much prefer marching with my besson 700 which is heaver than a sousa but much more enjoyable cuz you get such a nicer sound sure sousas are easier to march with but if you cant march with a real tuba u shudnt march at all and all the lighter instrements need to stop complaining about there arms hurting cuz try carying a tuba

imorie12 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Why don't you just use one of the core style drum corps tubas?

Jonnieweller Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - if my school could afford them i would love that

imorie12 Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - i think that they're just regular tubas with an adapter where the mouth piece goes. But, i don't gotta worry about that cause i'm a trumpet player.

Aug 21, 2008 - 0:15-"CAN'T HEAR YOU" It's the largest instrument to carry on the field, has a large sound! are you serious, or are you deaf?

Jonnieweller Says:

Aug 22, 2008 - no there completly differnet build types the valves are move and so is the lead pipe

hearxthisxcalling Says:

Aug 22, 2008 - its probably the camera but it sounds nasty... one hell of a monster sound tho! awsome
