Odd two belled Sousaphone from India

Post by David Richoux »

Happened to see this on eBay - looks like one of those crap Eb Sousaphones with another bell attached to the throat to play behind you. Somehow I don't think it works very well... More pics here.

Have you seen one? It seems impossible to figure that out from the photo set for this listing.

If that is the case, what a waste of brass!

I'd always assumed that the second bell contained a beeper (for use when backing up) ... :lol: :tuba:

But think of the balance possibilities... :P
