Oh by the way guys, sousaphones are mainly in Eb and BBb, do not listen to this guy, he is summarising all regions of the world into the typically dogmatic view that many awful teachers like him have....

Our tubas and sousas were all C's. We used to have a Bb, but it broke beyond repair.

@eddieayes93 sousas are Bb...??? Never heard of any other key for them. F would be way too high.

@MrTubamukl USA = Bb then C. Well depending if it's professional or not. High school and most colleges use Bb... But no professionals I've ever heard of except for some that are obsessed with sousaphone play Bb.

I think it depends on the region you're living in. In Germany, Bb and F are mostly used, In GB Eb is popular, in USA tey use C, I think...
