Really soon, as I understand it. The bore size will be .728" and the bell flair diameter will be over 25-1/2"...a BIG sousaphone, and knowing Weril probably significantly lower -priced than Uranus.
I'm kinda wondering if it will be a Yamaha knock-off (big sousaphone) - like the model 980 Weril tuba is just like the Yamaha YBB321.
I know that Sean Chisham knows the "look" of the Yamaha sousaphone all too well...
Anyone who is intimately familiar with the Yamaha sousa: Is this a "knock-off" of a Yamaha? (I've only repaired one or two of these - for the military. They're just not sold around here.)
