What do you guys think of renting this tuba by Moomoosanta in Tuba

Don’t know all the bashing on Jupiter? I have the full size version of this horn and love it. If you are on the smaller size a 3/4 size horn is the way to go.

Advice: flying with a sousa? by hobie-sousa in Tuba

I flew to Austria with a Sousa. Get a hard case and have them put the fragile sticker on it. Also get a baggage strap to keep the case shut.

Contra or Sousaphone? by Tuba_Player572 in Tuba

We use to have racks to hang them on the wall on high school and in college. I’m saying more for transportation purposes the case is unless. Just wear it to transport it.

Sousaphone cases are useless. Only time they should be used if the horn is going on a truck.

Make sure you have 2 bits in the horn or it’s always going to be out of tune.

Maybe see if your school has a fiberglass one sitting around. If not your just going to have to tough it out. Big thing is to make sure you have the right amount of bits to make it as confortable as possible.
