I learned on a 3V brass sousaphone, which "sat" on one of those special sousy support "chairs" that was basically a square seat, a low "U" shaped piece of metal to support the lower part of the main wrap, and a telescoping support on the opposite side to support the base of the bell.

I was very fortunate to receive a brand new Miraphone 186-4U BBb the following two years, to play as my school-provided horn.

The High School had MW 25's (also happened to be new purchases -- the few little dings I added to these horns were painful).
