Hi-
I have heard a rumor that the Chief's (Sousa Band tuba member John Kuhn) Raincatcher sousaphone with a beautiful engraved Native American in headdress on the bell was floating around somewhere in the Chicago area--I also have heard that it might be a Buescher, and not a Conn Raincatcher. Anyone seen this instrument or know of where it is? I'd love to see a pic of this instrument.
Thanks-
mark

You know, there is a picture of John Kuhn on the Internet of him playing a sousaphone in an ad for Conn, if I remember correctly. Anyway, I showed it to a tailor here in Vietnam and I had a copy of the suit he was wearing made for me!
