Who needs vintage conn catalogues when you can watch a vintage conn promo film!
This may even be more weird than the naked sousaphone robot guy.

If he doesn't want to be square, why doesn't he just take that hat off his head in the music store?

Man, I miss Mystery Science Theater 3000, especially with Joel Hodson. BTW, that was the CREEPIEST thing I have seen since I saw it the first time.

I saw that when it was first out, I cannot believe it has been 16 years.

Absolutely fantastic!

Yes, their inane banter is ruining this historical document of the utmost quality and importance!
But seriously, for the 5 seconds where they show them making a sousaphone bell (towards the end), it actually is pretty interesting. Did you instrument frankenrepair people see that?

I have to admit the last part where they show the factory is very interesting. Would love to go on a factory tour someday. Does anyone know if there are any factories in the U.S. that allow tours?

I toured the Kanstul factory in Anaheim a few years ago. You could call and ask them for a tour.

I'm sure the androgenous (really?) Mr. B Natural went on to bigger and better movies.
