The Indian sousaphones are garbage and a waste of metal. Bergdorf Goodman in NYC a few years ago bought a whole bunch of these Indian instruments for their Christmas window display. Even through a window, up close (and frankly, from a distance), they are garbage.

You're money would be better spent on $300 worth of Indian food. There is less buyer's remorse in that because there is alot less sh!t the day after.

Or how about one of these. All because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Nice eye Bort on catching the 20K picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sousaphone-Tuba ... SwPe1T~fma" target="_blank" target="_blank :)
