Maybe someone can track down the pictures of some really nice sousaphones I've seen posted here. Those are some nice horns...

Aww.. come on! This is an easy one.

The most beautiful tuba is one of these two:

If you´re married:
a) the one YOU own
If not:
b) your section mate´s

I'd have to say the best looking horn I've seen is Daniel Perantoni's special-made PT-16. Also, the PT-6P he was playing was pretty nice, too.

I've seen James' horn in person. It's actually silver and goldplate, and it's stunning. And, oh by the way, he sounds amazing on it.

I'll submit my gold plated 1927 Conn 38K for consideration as prettiest sousaphone.

But Bloke's CC Helicon is really hot!

I have seen lots of really gorgeous tubas out there, so that is harder to pick.

Actually, I'd vote for the silver Helicon, even if it wasn't bloke's.

The Miraphone 188CC Anniversary model in red brass is one beautiful looking tuba. I owned one for about a month. I just didn't like the sound, so I sold it.
