1920's Vintage Martin Handcraft Alto Saxophone, Serial #64555
.jpg)
Martin Handcraft Alto
This is a vintage Martin Handcraft alto saxophone from the mid 1920's, serial number 64555. The body of the alto is in great shape for its vintage. There is no signs it has ever received major repair to the body. All of the original key work, neck and beveled tone holes are present and in good working order.
It looks like this sax was re-lacquered a very long time ago and later re-padded. The current set of pads are past their prime at this point. It is still playing decently through some leaks down to low Bb at this time. If you were going to do a lot of serious playing on this sax it would need to overhauled first. Because of the age of the saxophone it is not recommended for professional use or for students. It is most ideal for anyone wanting a vitnage sax to play around the house or for someone who is working on repair in their own home shop.
Ships out in as is condition with original wood hard case.
