Paul Scott has a Martin BBb 4 valve side action w/ removable upright bell circa. 1930's.
This is possibly the best instrument I've ever played. Only the Nirschel 6/4 CC is comparible. I have the same horn circa. 1959 and it doesn't really come close to the ease of playing that the earlier models do. I'd be very interested to try Sam's Martin with the larger valve bore.
