Methinks the copy writer might have been a bit "dents" ...

Maybe this is why we could never find York #3... it was disguised...

I don't know about you guys, but I just won't buy a horn if it doesn't have the original neck... even if it does come with a "Franklin Mellophone" mouthpiece!

Naw, this here is one o' them there new fangled inverted "
light-raincatcher models"; to be used only when the chance of showers is 30% or less. Either that....
or...... we've all heard of "pocket trumpets?" Well, how about a
pocket sousaphone!!!????

I've seen the alto sousaphone, too. But on this one... ummm...
How do you put it on your shoulder?

Don't laugh too hard - I've seen an alto sousaphone! A lady brought it to TubaChristmas in Riverside this last December; it was apparently one of a couple hundred built by Jupiter as "eye-catchers" for store displays.
Actually, I was lucky enough to get a civil-war-era alto helicon, which WAS designed to be used. Just has
small tubing and a blind tubing part of the circle, like many Eb bass sousaphone designs...
