This is a really nice looking horn, I can't believe no one has smacked down $500 for this sousaphone. Its in better shape than my King.

This Martin is a sweet Horn I just wish I could keep it. I rebuilt 46 Sousaphones late year and this is the only one I hate to sell .I do play a martin sousaphone .The only other gold plated sousaphone I had in my shop was about 10 years ago Conn EEb 4 valves .I sold it on ebay. It had 2 Rooring Tiger Heads engraved on the back of the bell . A real Cool Horn .The horn sold for $3200.00 at time .. The Guy I sold it for said it belong To The Reading Railroad ?? We did not have papers for That?? I think its in a Museum In Germany Now .But if go online and look it comes up and the picture that comes up is the one I took to sell it on ebay ..Man what a small world If you guys would only see my hell hole of a shop you would just LOL. I love fitting Sousaphone I guess Iam just Crazy.. Thanks for Looking Harv.
If you have any questions just call 610-367-7232 I hope it gets a good Home

Harv,

What are the diameters of the bell and the collar? What is the bore?

Thanks very much,
