Re: Brooklyn CL: Sousaphone
Wow, is that an example of wide angle perspective distortion! That little collar looks like it would fit inside the huge bell tenon, rather than vice versa. But "objects in photo may be closer than they appear", because the wider than normal angle of view. Common problem, but not often so obvious.

$500 for a 14K seems like a steal.
Even if it’s beat.

Too much tubing to be in E flat.

Re: Brooklyn CL: Sousaphone
It has the double loop on the third valve tubing "above" the valve, i.e., away from the third valve tuning slide. So it is almost certainly in BBb.

Re: Brooklyn CL: Sousaphone
The seller wasn't a musician. He took it to a music store where they emphatically declared it an Eb.
