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.

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

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.
