I would not think this is an Eb Sousaphone. I had a silver version of this horn, when in Junior High, and it was a very fine BBb. Look at the tubing as it curls the 2nd time around; in my experience, an Eb would not have this much "doubling of the tube. Anyone else want to agree? disagree?

I agree. And look at the length of the 2nd valve circuit. It's about 6 inches, that would make it a Bb.

Were the asking price $250 rather than $850, I wouldn't have posted here...I would have simply bought it.

The bloke is 100% correct... as usual

Owned its clone - it's an Eb. A very good one.
