This entire sousaphone body and bell minus the valve section weighs an incredible 4.5 lbs. The body is engineered with a three layer carbon fiber composite that makes it unbelievably strong and stiff helping to generate an amazing amount of projection. https://butlertrombones.com/sousa/

If you don't have the funds for our best selling C12d bass trombone but would like to lighten the load, add a carbon fiber bell and outer handslide to your arsenal for your bass. We make these for Shires, Edwards, Bach,Yamaha, Greenhoe and just about eveyone that makes a bass trombone. A CF bell and outer slide are about $2,500 US but through August we will throw in our outstanding bass trombone mute for free! (a $195 value). https://butlertrombones.com/custom-slide-order-form/
