The middle tuba is definitely a Conn Eb. That's the only one I can be certain of.

Hmmmmm, I could have sworn it started with HELICON,
Then again maybe it is really tuba, tuba, tuba, tiba, tuba
Or yet again maybe it is really Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, Buffalo...............................

In any case, it is an interesting photo. Maybe soome info on the source would help smebody provide more definitive answers.

Nope, definitely starts with a Sousaphone - an old "raincatcher" Sousaphone.

I am fairly sure that the sousaphone to the right is an early Conn 40K: BBb, 4 pistons, 22" bell (mine is from 1928 and has a 24" bell)

I don’t know about the tubas, and the raincatcher sousaphone to the left puzzles me. I think it is an Eb, but I don’t recognize the very compact valve block.

Yep, right Marty!!!!!!!!!

Won't go into why I said helicon -

I have a vague recollection of having seen this photo a long time ago and that it was a line up of players from one of the early 20th century US bands showing their range of Conn tubas.

I think the concert tubas on the left and far right are Eb's (mid-size on the left and Giant on the right) which intrigues me as the Giant seems to have a completely different tuning slide from every other Giant I have seen.
