Soprano Sousaphone c.1980

I first saw one of these in  Muller's Music store on Dam Street Amsterdam and when I asked, I was told it was a soprano sousaphone.  Actually it is a Eb tenor horn wrapped up like a tiny sousa.  It is made by Jupiter and plays easily and beautifully.  The bell removes like a real sousa for packing. As a Tubist , I just had to have one - even if I can't adjust my pucker to a horn mouthpiece!!
