The first horn I played was an old Conn sousaphone in middle school. The 3rd valve cap was missing and had folded up paper for the spit valve cork, but had a very warm, resonant sound. The other tuba player in band didn't like it as much as the smaller, lighter "Continental Colonial"? sousaphone, which was o.k., but the Conn sounded fuller.
