And yet he doesn't play a sousaphone to show that the Kanstul produces more sound... :|

So if Shockwave's test meant anything, the Jumbo sousaphone is even louder than a normal sousaphone.

This must mean that a contra is the loudest instrument ... :roll: ... as long as it's pointed directly at the recording device. :roll:
Possibly,but you have to take in account you have a Trumpet player trying to demostrate a Tuba.He should have gotten a Tuba Player to demonstrate that horn.
