Boy, oh boy! That is a beauty and affordable for someone who wants that sort of thing. I would think someone who wanted to march with it would have to double as a defensive lineman with the Chicago Bears! Or play on a stage with the horn on a stand.

Looks neat, but to me, it's one of those things I'd really have to play to appreciate.

Re: Ooh, a Giant!
Played an overhauled King Giant sousa back in the day. It was like a 1250/2350 with the same great intonation and big sweet King sound, just a full size bigger in every way - bigger bell, bigger branches and bigger valve bore. A 5/4 size sousa like the YSH 411 and Conn 20K -- roughly equivalent to a 6/4 tuba.
