Nice case by the way.
Someone had to take the photo.

(Since it has been a little while - this is regarding my 1928 Martin Monster Recording Eb)

Out of curiosity, what is the collar diameter?

I can speculate that is a blast to play.
Definitely a 20” bell. Collar ID is 6.6”.

Valves are a little worn but does ok with a lot of oil. And it certainly gets attention wherever it goes.

Fun stuff!

That's a lot of trailer (and trailer occupants) for a garden tractor (even a diesel Deere 330. Obviously it did fine, but is somehow looks humorous.

I like it!

I tore up a transmission on one of those things pulling a small trailer around, but I was pulling firewood up a steep hill out of the woods, and not pulling on flat pavement. Once you get it moving on a flat smooth surface, it doesn't have much of a job to do after that.

I did take a couple of years for me to tear that transmission up doing that stuff.

It's not as easy as it looks to play music on a moving trailer. I've done it several times. I guess it's sort of fun but it's also sort of hard. :teeth: :clap: :bow2: :smilie7:
