The Giant Circular Sousaphone
The sousaphone is a massive brass instrument designed specifically to be carried easily by musicians in marching bands. It features heavy circular tubing that loops around the performer's shoulder and a huge upward-facing bell that projects sound forward over the crowd.
Key Facts About the Sousaphone
John Philip Sousa requested the creation of this instrument in the late nineteenth century to provide a strong bass foundation for outdoor band performances. The large bell rests above the musician's head so the low brass notes carry over long distances during parades. Despite its enormous size, the tubing is balanced to rest comfortably across a player's shoulder.
