Sorry for the big pics, they were taken with my phone (and I'm using it to post this as well, so I couldn't edit them down).

What kind of sousaphone did I just get?
Here are some pictures of a fiberglass sousaphone I just picked up. Can you tell me what it is? Conn? Holton? Without the logo on the back of the bell like on brass ones, I'm lost. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or sell it yet. It's in great shape, just missing the bell screws. Thanks for your help!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Thanks for the tip about the neck and bits, it was very uncomfortable to play... You're right about the valves, they are great! A little noisy, but new felts should fix that. Thanks for your input!
