Martin tubas?

Was Martin the company that made the "Handcrafted" line of instruments? The local band (Ringgold Band of Reading, PA) in town has a "Handcrafted" sousaphone that is a marvelous playing horn. I forget if it was a Martin or Beuscher however. It is a big sousa with a heavy bell. I wouldn't want to march a long parade with the thing on my shoulder however.

I have a high opinion of Martin tubas. This one has a great sound and a nice compact wrap. It would make a great "project tuba" for someone. As I have a new horn and can't keep two this one will be offered for sale soon. Stay tuned!

Martin did make the instruments with the "Handcraft" designation.
