Aren't the big Martins "mammoths"? "Indiana" is a Martin budget line?

Re: Martin Monster Sousaphone
Yes, the big Martins were knowns as 'mammoths'... but that name did not appear on the horn. I think they were marked 'Martin Handcraft'.Donn wrote:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0146047800

This horn looks more like a Conn stencil to me. At least I KNOW that the neck and bits aren't Martin.

I've got a Martin sousaphone with a substantially larger bell than this. I think it's 28 or 30 inches across. Any info on those?
