Maloof's sousa

Post by Hank74 »

Would anyone here know what kind of sousaphone did Richard Maloof play while on the "Lawrence Welk Show?"

I've attached a photo to help out.

Sure does look like a Holton. That squarish angle of the back bow of the bell is one give away. Played one of these in HS.
