The Tuba is 53 1/2" in height and has a weight of 8 pounds.
:shock: :shock:

Doesn't the average non-compensating student euphonium come it at about 8 pounds? This thing must be made of tinfoil.

The over-the-shoulder 3-rotor Bb baritone that I bought back around 1980 for $25 was astonishingly thinwall.
Due to popularity of fanny packs (and wearing sweaters around your waist), I think there was a model that you could roll up and store in your fanny pack. It inflated back up to full size when you played it.

Thats just the normal weight for an old horn. My 4 valve bass saxhorn weighs about 8lbs also, but it doesn't seem flimsy at all.
