I believe Conn Jumbos are a little larger.

The sousa listed here is not a Jumbo, imo. Looks more 20k-sized. Still a cool horn

yes. this horn is not a jumbo but their medium sized horn, with an comically large bell. the jumbos like mine had two piece bells, this one has a one piece bell.

Re: CO Facebook: 4v Buescher Jumbo Sousaphone
^ If I had the money, I would have bought your Beuscher Jumbo in a heartbeat. I think it is cool. But I'm trying to sell a couple sousas myself as I'm broke and don't play them.
