Very cool.

Beautiful. I used to own a Martin mammoth Sousa but I ended getting rid of it. Loved the way it sounded but the one I had was throughly abused before I got it, so it had lots of issues. Mabey I’ll get another in the future

The gooseneck and bits are actually Bundy, not originals, but the Bundy neck/bit combo is the closest in specs to the originals from any other maker. So, not ideal, but far better than the often-seen neck ConnVersions you usually see on these.

Good catch -- I just assumed they were original because it looked right (thumb screws, etc.) and it had the old traveling trunk, so I figured everything had been shipped to Europe 50 years ago in that trunk and was original.

Looks like the same valve section that was on my Mammoth!

Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of it is the same, too.

Hard to judge scale sometimes (or i'm just bad at it) but i think this is likely a mammoth?

Yes, Mammoth
