{"product_id":"martin-gold-plated-handcraft-skyline-searchlight-alto-overhauled-near-mint-125113","title":"Martin Gold-Plated Handcraft Skyline \/ Searchlight Alto Overhauled Near Mint! 125113","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a super-rare fully gold plated Martin Skyline alto with nearly 100% of its original gold plate and special engraving throughout. There are no past repairs, and there is no current damage. It has a recent full overhaul completed and then put away for a collection and rarely played, so it's still completely fresh, though the gold has tarnished a bit. It's not hard to wipe the tarnish off the gold if you want this to look almost pristine, but I like how the gold turns darker when you handle it, like on the neck and around the keys. The lady in the sombrero is engraved on the bow of each of the three of these that I have seen over the years. Why? I have no idea, but I love it. The tone is warm, full, round, complex, dark, and more focused than you might expect. Intonation is quite good! The keywork is not modern, but also not bad at all. I absolutely love these rare and fabulous Martin altos, and if you love the saxophone, you should try to grab this one. It's a very special alto that you never see for sale, in incredible condition and already overhauled and ready to go! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GETASAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43780503535693,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/7931\/2717\/files\/MartinHandcraftSkylineAltoGold125113-2.jpg?v=1789519771","url":"https:\/\/getasax.com\/products\/martin-gold-plated-handcraft-skyline-searchlight-alto-overhauled-near-mint-125113","provider":"GETASAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
