Weltklang sousaphone

Post by butch »

Did anyone of you ever play a sousaphone made by Weltklang in the GDR?

Nobody?

Would it be worth buying that thing?

I wouldn't give that to my worst enemy..
I wouldn't play it in a guggenmusik. Don't waste the money unless you're looking it for the case.

Agreeing with previous posters:

GDR era B&S/Weltklang didn't have adequate technology to make good piston valve blocks.

The bell flares may be wide, but they are ridiculously shallow.
