Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4217897, member: 504"] Nah. Everyone who doesn’t know better thinks a sousaphone is a tuba whether they can see the instrument or not. Years ago my son bought me a T shirt that had a silhouette of a Sousaphone with the declaration this is a Sousaphone. I played a tuba as well. For those millions dying to know the difference, both sound exactly the same but a tuba is an orchestra instrument held in the lap with a bell that usually points straight up, while a Sousaphone is that big thing sitting on the shoulder with a big bell pointing in a curved forward. John Phillip Sousa invented it because he wanted the tuba scale in a military band and a tuba is pretty much impossible to march around with. And there is always someone starting a wise guy thread about complaints after an 85% perfect game. And I think Maisel lost its way. So there. [/QUOTE]
