Sousaphone Reference Chart

You can find this list on my blog at: http://sousacentral.blogspot.com/2010/1 ... ments.html

I am currently putting together a Sousaphone reference chart. This chart contains; make, model, bore size, weight, horn material, bell flare and collar measurements and various thread sizes for parts.

The list is currently incomplete, but there is still a great deal of useful information there. I am going to update the information as I get horns and parts to measure.

The purpose of this list is two fold; as a quick reference for a tech who works on Sousaphones and as a reference for players, parents and band directors who are evaluating horns.

Let me know what you think!

You might want to include the key of the instrument, unless they are all going to be in Bb.

I will include Eb, Mammoth and Jumbo Sousa on my full chart that I am compiling right now.

The first list that is currently posted is designed for common horns. It is really supposed to be a quick reference for techs.

The next list will be historical in nature. Do you have an Eb?
