Vintage Martin Handcraft Alto Saxophone
$1095
A rare c. 1937 vintage 'Handcraft Standard' alto saxophone made by Martin USA. It is lacquered brass and is in good condition for its age, with no significant dents or repairs - nothing that materially impacts looks or playability. Lacquer is about 80%, with soldered tone holes.
Its been disassembled, cleaned, swedged and countersunk (to tighten the mechanism) posts aligned, tone holes leveled, rods trued, all tan leather pads (with brown plastic resos) installed, and key corks replaced, reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. The horn is a really good player, with a full, warm tone, good intonation, and comfortable key work: would be a good horn for Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues... I'm very pleased with the condition and play-ability of this saxophone! Comes with vintage case (possibly original) in clean, solid condition.
