Does anyone know of a legitimate website where I can rent to own a Sousaphone at? I found
http://www.instrumentoutfitters.com/" target="_blank , but I do not know if the website is legitimate or not. I am based in the Chicago Land Area of Indiana or known as Northwestern Indiana.

Do you know if this kind of Sousaphone I found on eBay plays like any other sousaphone?

How about this Sousa? Does it look like a instrument worth what it's being sold at?

In my own opinion yes ( you'll need to spend another 120 on neck and bits plus a mouthpiece) but it's better to find a brass one.
Well I already have a tuba mouthpiece, but what specifically would I need to get to get the instrument playable as I see it doesn't come with a leadpipe? Plus I plan on using this at my school's pep band and in parades for my Marching Band. So would it be better to find a brass one or use this Fiberglass one?

Neck and bits. in that case its your call if you can get by with fiberglass then go for it if you need to support. A large band get a brass one.
What is bit? Is it needed for the neck or can I just get a neck and not a bit?

A bit is the part that goes in the neck to be able to play in tune and adjust it to you so no you need a neck and 2 bits

After calculating the total price with adding the price of shipping, 2 bits, 1 neck, and the sousaphone itself. Do you think it's still worth the money? The total is in the screenshot below
