WTB Martin front action BBflat
Looking for a full-size Martin Bflat. Silver would be great but it doesn’t matter as long as the valves are good.

Re: WTB Martin front action BBflat
Full sized as in Martin Mammoth or as in Martin Medium?
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: WTB Martin front action BBflat
I played on one for the 3 to 4 years back in the early 90s and i’m pretty sure it wasn’t as big as some of the mammoth ones I’ve played. It was still definitely a big horn but not as huge as some of the ones you see. So with my limited knowledge of Martin I will say probably a medium then?

Re: WTB Martin front action BBflat
I used to have a 3v front action Martin Medium (about the size of a King 1241/2341. Nice playing horn. THe BBb mediums are pretty uncommon, more so in front action. The top action Mammoths are fairly common, the front actions much less so.
I hope you find one. They are good players.
