There is a small sousaphone at Charles Fail Music in Atlanta.
I would imagine that it's probably not for sale. It's in the key of
Bb (same pitch as a euphonium), but is a true sousaphone. I asked
Charles about it, and he said that it was used to help train kids to
play the tuba. I think it was made some time in the earlier part of
the century. I think it would be a lot of fun to play at TubaChristmas.

I've also seen small Eb sousaphones, but this one was even smaller.
