Does anyone recognize the sousaphone in this video? I have a bell engraved "Keefer" that is similar but the throat is a bit bigger I think.

Well... the neck and bits are certainly Conn.

The throat looks very wide compared to the bell diameter. Is that diameter only 22"?

The video credits Jim Parker as the tuba player his website shows a Conn 38K

Thanks - everyone and yeah I should have chased him down. The bell flare looked way too small to me ... camera angle maybe?

Off topic but: Dan, you will probably appreciate Brad who is a tinker supreme as well as a great guitarist.

He designed, built and patented this folding guitar:

His youtube page shows his machinery for machinery's sake:



... and mechanical greeting cards:


Oh yeah, and one for sousaphone68:

I liked him for the muted trumpet scat and now I like him even more.
