Sousaphone vs bari sax!

[jojosax]

for my next instrument should I go for a sousaphone or a bari sax?

I am a alto sax player that learn brass for 2 years now (euphonium) but I like big instrument en big loud sounds!

I play currently in a small band and I am wondering which of the bari sax or Sousphone should i chosse to make the maximum noise??

space bar broken? ouch!!

Bari has more future, and its major fun. But if you're talkin like a marching band or pep band, sousaphone is what you want. Bari sax wont do as much there

Maximum noise? Sousaphone of course :twisted:

Maximum fun? Bari of course :D

How about trombone since you play brass instruments? There's nothing louder.

as a brass player myself, i would suggest bari unless you plan to only play in a pep band...not many practical applications of sousaphone in concert pieces.
