Jim Brennan of I believe San Francisco owns a 6/4 Martin that if we were to go by bell size alone would just about beat any other tuba. The bell on his recording bass is 30". I'm not sure what the bore is on his recording bass. Martin also produced what I believe was one of the largest bells for sousaphones. A person in the UK recently was selling a Martin Jumbo sousaphone that had a 33" bell!!
