My primary is a committee variant - a T-3468 (.470 bore, 6" bell). Works
great.

"Best" is a matter of what works best for *you*.

To my understanding, the Martin Committee of choice was the
#3 large bore. This from my friend John Coppola who played
one for 30+ years before it gave out. John played lead
with Kenton, Woody Herman, Charlie Barnett and Billy May.
He should know...

An interesting bit of trivia from John is that the #3
was made from the brass of old WWII shell casings.

BTW, Joe Marcinkiewicz took John's old Martin #3, copied
the bell, put his own knowledge into the instrument and
now sells it as the "Coppola Model".

This is the instrument I play and I love it.
