Re: Elephant for sousaphone
I don't know where you can buy one, but I am assuming you are looking for this for a school function. Ask a parent. There is usually one that can sow. If you can not find any parent that can look at local universities. If they have a theater department, they could make you one. If that does not work then just find a seamstress, look in the phone book, or even ask a church, they sometimes have people that do sowing for them. Good Luck

I certainly like the masking done in PhotoShop or in a similar application. And then we see the recognition about an important fact:
Music is very much about ears!

I don’t know about materials making such structure stable, durable, bearable, and payable at the same time. And then I don’t believe that the joining of the trunk and the bow is a 2D representation of something having happened in 3D.

Here's one:

I've never seen a sow at universities, even in the theatre dept. Then again, I do recall a coupla pigs in the viola section in the music department...they were twins.
Here's a picture of one of 'em, without the instrument:

Not sure about church, but I guess I've seen a few there too; but in the phone book?

Re: Elephant for sousaphone
Wonder what kind of wild oats those sows would sow. Seamstress anyone?

Re: Elephant for sousaphone
Oh man, I thought when I read the title of this thread that I could trade Wade for a sousaphone!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
