Amazing Sousaphone Demo

Be sure to check out the demo by the 'technician' at the end so you can know what the tuning of this B-B sousaphone is like.

Also note: "with three valves, very better for the tuning of the pitch"

Mysteriously, this video has been pulled. Can't imagine why, it was some great advertising! I was figuring on using them for all my future instrument needs.

Maybe just the lousy photography, but it looks like a toy! Is 22" supposed to be the bell diameter or the LOA?
