That looks like a Neotech harness to me. I wonder if he found a good way to support the Sousa using it?

Edit:
The Tuba harness isn't quite a match.
Maybe it's their percussion model - https://neotechstraps.com/products/perc ... strap.html" target="_blank" target="_blank

His pockets are full of mouthpieces, and it's holding his pants up?

Pretty sure that's the 4-valved Jupiter Sousaphone (JSP1110). He is a Jupiter artist, after all.

Interesting idea, if it works.
Very pricey.
Not a clear picture on how it works on the sousaphone.
The strap looks different than the one Sheridan's has on.
