Just got a York Eb Sousaphone off ebay for $450 after shipping. Gave it a bath, checked intonation and was noodling out Carnival of Venice that evening. Only three valves but the false tones are plenty solid. The sound isn't nearly as lean and direct as I'm used to getting out of my PT-6 or PT-15 but the response and intonation are workable and it's definately well suited to playing on street corners and playing jazz lines which is what I bought it for.

If the horn makes you happy it's a great bargain.

Now I just have to get comfortable with reading Eb fingerings. ;b

fwiw,
joseph
