With a Sousaphone, the left hand doesn't do much other than hold the horn stabile and even that is only necessary during movement other than straight ahead marching. Having thought about it, I realize that I usually put a Sousy on from right to left, using the right hand and arm primarily to lift the horn and place it on my left shoulder. While marching, I usually use my left hand to hang onto the mouthpiece so it doesn't fall out. That is possibly not 'by the book' for a military band, but it works OK for a hobo band.

I think he may be all right. Good luck to him in any case.
