"Because you have to have loose screws to play the tuba" as a tuba player I agree

Sooooo I'm switching from piccolo to tuba this year in marching band.. rip my shoulders lol

The brass sousaphones hurt your shoulder sooooo much.

Sousaphones are really fun to play, but they shake cameras to much for a decent recording.

I’ve held a brass sousaphone it hurt a lot for the first time then it still hurt weeks later then I realized it’s one of the heaviest ones out of all the sousaphones.... then I picked up one of the other ones and it pretty much felt like nothing.... people if ur scared of holding a sousaphone don’t worry it’s gonna hurt it feels like u can’t move but after a while u will get used to it.... if u want to get used to it immediately then do not put the horn down

Contrary to popular belief, the fiberglass ones do still hurt your shoulder, it just takes longer for you to feel it. Extra weight to your shoulder is going to affect you whether its 15 or 40 lbs

Using a pad with a fiberglass sousaphone? Ha! I don't even use one with my Jumbo and it weighs nearly 65 pounds!

i had to march with one of those IN SOLID BRASS!!! for 2 years...... you people with fiberglass ones are soooooooo lucky.

Was looking forward to hearing it.

i have a brass one and it kinda hurts after awhile while marching

I HAVE ONE SOUSAPHONE YAMAHA!!...... THIS IS THE BEST!!... BEAUTIFUL...

I tried on a sousaphone for my first time and let me say this: It was the most awkward instrument I have ever held lol. Whenever I turned it caused the thing to turn with me. And plus the bell is so huge it blocked half my vision so I could only see the floor.

Cool video! Very clear and good humor! Haha!

When will they ever come up with something like this for the oboe and the bassoon in marching band?????

My high school has 2 4-valved Jupiters but I work on reincarnating the 3-valved Yamahas in case of a wave of tubas

I almost expected him to play a demonstration of it.

its no that the sousaphone is heavy it just hurts alot

A few thoughts along these lines:

def getting a fiberglass one

Ooooh it's a fuba
