If you'll note my wording, you'll see that I didn't devalue the sousaphone compared to an upright tuba. I did make a distinction between the sort of unworthy sousaphone used by Dave Zerkel (based on his description) and the primary instrument used by that player. What I said would equally apply to one who was forced to use a plastic Jupiter while marching but who has a nice metal Conn in a sousaphone chair for sit-down use, as you do.

The point, of course, was that because Dave was able to make the best of the situation, and offered advice on how to do so, didn't mean that those who like that situation should take his words as a defense of their position.
