Were you to attach only about 600 helium balloons to your sousaphone, the effective weight on your shoulder would probably be reduced to only 6 or 7 lbs.

Obviously, you would wish to avoid 850 or more, as you might actually lose the sousaphone.

And since I play at summer and fall festivals, then after the concert I could give a balloon to each kiddo who attends with their folks.

I would put a strip of thick yoga mat for grip and to keep from denting. I've never tried it.

interesting idea...Would the sousaphone slide off...or dent the inside curve of the 3rd branch?
