Interesting horn, check out that valve section.

It looked kind of terrifying to me when I picked up the PT-1.

It almost like they heard a description of a sousaphone but had never actually seen one before attempting to build one.

Its like a medieval giraffe

It's a helicon and then put a different bell on it.

My wild guess is that some US service band in Europe needed a Sousaphone, couldn't get one shipped to them quick enough, and had to get something custom built by Lidl using an existing helicon and then make up some kind of front facing bell.

I think I would run screaming from the room -- but it also looks like it weighs a ton.

I agree! My first thought was "that looks heavy."

I'm glad the 56AFT and JBL were there, though. They reinforced to me how good my PT-15 is!

I NEED IT! Just wrote a mail to the shop...

Is anyone coming to Germany soon?

I am, but I don’t think that would fit in my carry on.

(And Baltimore Brass is 1400 miles from me)

Thank God someone bought it before I was too tempted to purchase a sousaphone I DO NOT NEED.

[Kontrabasstuba]

What a great instrument!
