- This instrument is an E-flat alto horn made in the shape of a mini sousaphone by the Jupiter company in the 1990s as a special production run of 50 instruments. It was given to me by my good friend David Wooten, CEO of the Las Vegas Trumpet Company. It is played with a custom mouthpiece by James R. New (james-r-new.com/) which combines a 6 ½ AL trombone cup with the alto horn shank.
The song “Some Folks” was composed by Stephen Foster in 1855. This arrangement is based on Foster’s original setting as well as James Bellak’s “Some Folks Polka” (1884).
I love how the clock is on beat 🥰
Imagine a band made of these, soprano trombones, soprano horns, and pocket trumpets
Ok… it looks funny! Tiny low brass and tinier trumpets!
And one HUGE sousaphone
Hello, thanks for sharing, I also have one of those, but I didn't knew it was so rare. Grate sound.
What an adorable little Sousa!

You have got talent sir! I can’t say that micro Susaphone is worth you paid for it though .

I heard some bands in Mexico use them to match with the tuba or sousaphone
Love the sound of this instrument Terry. Well done.

What is the name of this instrument, where can I get one.
The instrument is an E-flat alto horn in the shape of a sousaphone. They are no longer made so I do not know where you could find one.
What do you bet Wessex will be making q reproduction?
I searched it and found this video.
Would you be willing to sell you instrument ?
No, this instrument is not for sale. They are very rare.
Rare you say? It certainly seems rare. Such an odd instrument.
@TrentHamilton would find these interesting!
