The Martin Tenor from 1946 Original Lacquer Great Deal!

Wow, this is a super deal on an original lacquer, original **pads** The Martin Tenor that needs an overhaul. You will seriously not find another horn in this condition for near this price that is nearly this high quality. The Martin Tenors are just amazing professional tenor saxophones. They were hand made in the USA and came with 50 year manufacturer’s warranties! They have beautiful design, are built very well, and play so amazingly well when overhauled – fat palm key tone, sweet, responsive middle register, and lush, saturated low register. The keywork is comfortable, intonation is good, and they work with a wide range of mouthpieces. In short, they are fantastic horns, and are currently way undervalued. Still they usually sell for a lot more than this, but I want to have some great deals on the website at any given time, and this is one of them. It needs an overhaul, and those areas of crackly lacquer are going to come off when the horn is overhauled (see photos). The case also smells bad, so either plan on deodorizing it (any car detailing place can do this for you), or replacing it. But the horn has good bones! No past repairs at all, original pads, beautiful original lacquer, no dents or issues. After it comes apart (some rollers need to be unstuck with penetrating oil) it should be a smooth process getting it overhauled.

If you have been looking for the best tenor possible on a low budget, get this and get it overhauled. You won’t regret it!

Only one available.
