WTB Martin sousaphone neck and bits

Post by EmptyCase »

Looking for a set of neck and bits to fit a martin mammoth sousaphone. Looking for something "authentic." If you have some, know someone who has some, or know a place that could make them let me know. Any part would help thanks!

Martin Wilks makes bits for them. I’d suspect he could make a neck.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

If your receiver hasn't been altered, I have a Bundy neck that should fit. No bits, though.

It needs a new receiver. The old one is junky and glued on by the previous owner :facepalm2:

He’d have to have the sousaphone to do that and I’m in the south of Louisiana. So…

If you can send me a picture and some specs I’d be interested. My two options are fit it with a modern receiver and use modified Jupiter parts($$$) or re make the bottom half of the receiver which probably won’t cost as much.
