Hi guys, hey I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me anything about the Raincatchers. Have any of you guys played them before, and if so, could you relay to me what they're like to play and carry? What kind of stares do you get from laymen and fellow Sousaphone players? Also, how possible is it to actually aquire one, they did make thousands of them from 1893 to the late 1920's? Even if you have never experienced the Raincatcher, if you know any history tid-bits on the neat looking Sousaphones, please reply!!
Sincerely,
"curious" Kevin Eckelkamp
