The sousaphone can be classified as a modified tuba. It is mostly used in maching bands, offering sound projections and visual effect thanks to its front sided bell. Belonging to the brass family, among the lowest pitched instruments, it features a slimmer bore and thus offers a brighter sound compared with the tuba. The SSOU-20GW has been conceived to ensure easy emission and easy carrying. The bell is detachable and the included hardcase is equipped with wheels in order ot ensure easy carrying. Perfect fits for marching bands.
