Why not? - if you think a 50lb Sousaphone is a handfull, look at the Jacksonville State 20J website. Those guys (and gals) march with Conn 20J's and 24J's. Over 50 lb each, bellfront uprights. Oh man, their backs must really take a beating. The weight is all in front, not over the shoulder as with a sousaphone.
