All Olds. A smashed bell was replaced by the body knee from a sousaphone.

Wow!! That's quite the horn!will it have a bell attached to it??also wouldn't it be better if the extention was on top so the horns bell(if it gets one )would be on top??)In your opion will this be a better sounding horn than a reguler sousaphone or a contra??Thanks for the video......bigbob

Harvey’s true intention behind this tuba design:

The Horn plays in tune (BBb)just like you see it...I made it to set on the Rajah Shrine String Band Float. The float as a Roof on it so a up bell tuba or a sousaphone will not work on the float The String band Plays alot of Parades. The sound is down at your feet much like a string bass.Thanks for looking Harv.
