Sousaphone made to sound like a duck

[Walter Webb]

El Paton means the male duck in Spanish. I definately hear some quacking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk8szIdvvL4" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank
I experimented with this sound by using the cheeks and mouth under pressure to explosively pop out, or splat the note like a ripe tomato chucked at a brick wall. Now, combine that attack with scales, then intervals. Now yer quackin'. I imagine there is a good use for this stunning attack in Banda or other Mexican styles with brass and accordion, with a Sousaphone, always.

Has anyone found a YouTube video of a Sousaphone being played with perfect intonation and clean articulation in all ranges? I'd like to know what a Sousaphone can sound like in the hands of a virtuoso orchestral tubist or studio player.
