He played mostly all of the instuments in that period of time.
Yes he did.
John Philip Sousa was primarily known for his role as a conductor and composer of military and patriotic marches, but he was also an accomplished musician who played the cornet. He began his musical career as a young boy, and his proficiency on the cornet helped him in his early compositions and performances. Sousa's work has left a lasting legacy in American music, particularly through his famous marches like "The Washington Post" and "Stars and Stripes Forever."

Yes, he does play the guitar but according to John, not very well.
The Sousaphone was developed in the 1890s by C.G. Conn at the request of John Philip Sousa, who was unhappy with the helicons used at that time by the United States Marine Band. The hélicon is an instrument that resembles the sousaphone in principle but has a far narrower bore, and a much smaller bell which points between straight up and to the player's left. Sousa wanted a tuba that would send sound upward and over the band with a full warm tone, much like a concert (upright) tuba, an effect which could not be achieved with the narrower-belled (and thus highly directional) hélicon. Contrary to popular belief, the sousaphone was not initially developed as a marching instrument, as the professional band Sousa started after leaving the Marines (for which he wanted this new instrument) marched only once in its existence. Rather, Sousa wanted a concert instrument which would be easier to hold and play, while retaining a full, rich sound. The tone he sought was achieved by widening the bore and throat of the instrument significantly, as well as pointing it straight upward in a similar manner to concert instruments, a feature which led to the instrument being dubbed a "rain-catcher". This bell configuration remained the standard for several decades, and a version with a forward-facing bell did not debut until the mid-1920s. Early sousaphones had 22 inch diameter bells, with 24 inch bells popular in the 1920s. From the mid-1930s onward, sousaphone bells have been standardized at a diameter of 26 inches.
