Tuba vs Sousaphone

Dear readers, I believe it is time for me too explain the difference between tubas and sousaphones

Sousaphones are basically giant tubas.
Sousaphones were invented to be a “marching tuba”
It is called the sousaphone after John Sousa a well known Composer and Conductor
Unlike the tuba the sousaphone has little to no history (it was invented in the late 1800s)
LONG LIVE THE TUBA!!
