Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Thomann SHF-400 MKII is a surprisingly lightweight and affordable sousaphone, perfect for student musicians or marching bands needing a robust, projecting instrument. The fiberglass body makes it much easier to handle than a full brass model, while the brass valve components maintain a decent tonal quality. Don't expect a concert hall tone, but for its price, it's a solid performer.
