They lok like Sousaphones to me. /they were invented by the /american composer march king, John philip Sousa, whose output included famous marches like Semper Fidelis and Thne Stars and Stripes.

I know Sousa's marches. I played them for ballet classes. They are good marches.  I think this is a tuba. |

Similar in shape to the one I play. Mort's picture is more to my one. Continental tubas seem to look differnet, maybe becausethey have similar actions to the french horn as opposed to the British tuba.

Thank you, Bryn. I usually saw them like this looking down to the Bolshoi orchestra pit from some balcony.  |

I like the sound of tuba. It must be very difficult to blow hard into the mouth piece.
Have you ever played in philarmonic orchestra?
