Horn dorn, St Louis edition

Post by eupher61 »

1957 Martin Mammoth, original 4 valves in front. A little tweaking by Dan Schultz made it even better than it was when I got it. Thanks, Dan, and Andy!

Original recording bell, upright is a Kanstul reproduction. Talk about sound.

I think so. So do those who have heard it on a gig so far. And my wife. The pet rabbit doesn't seem to notice.

Whoa, cool! I didn't even realize Dan had one up for sale (and certainly not one that nice!).

Is this a 6/4 Martin?

Please tell us you plan to play lots of outdoor band concerts this summer. I can't see one of those things without thinking how perfect it'd be for an outdoor summer evening concert.
