New Sousaphone

Post by New York Brass Band »

Hi guys,

During the summer I visited America from the UK and took the opportunity to buy a Conn 20K Sousaphone.

Reading the posts here helped me get the right instrument at a great price, so cheers

Here is a clip of my new instrument filmed at the amazing Cork Jazz Festival in Ireland last month.

If you would like to learn more about the band visit http://www.newyorkbrassband.co.uk" target="_blank

Cheers!

Just checked out some of your clips - very strong & good playing! Nice arrangements and solos from all of your players.

One of the bands I am in toured Scotland and England back in the early 1990s - our performance in York (at Saint Samson's Square) was well received and we were invited to have a beer at the Roman Bath Pub nearby - all 60 of us!
