Vintage Martin Gold Plated Alto Saxophone Sax Beautiful Engraving Please Read

IT HAS ITS SHARE OF OLD USED VINTAGE WEAR FROM BEING USED FOR MANY YEARS. ALSO, I REALLY TRIED TO GET MY PICS BETTER, BUT THESE ARE THE BEST I COULD GET. I CHOSE THESE FROM 68 PICS AND CHOSE THE ONES THAT COULD SHOW THE TRUEST CONDITION AND BLEMISHES.

ALSO USE MY WORDS AS A TRUE AND HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THIS SAX. THIS IS A VINTAGE MARTIN LOW PITCH ALTO SAX WITH SERIAL #83XXX.

IT IS GOLD PLATED WITH GOLD LATED KEYS. THE NECK APPEARS TO BE SILVER OR SILVER PLATED. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS THE SAME ON THE SAX AND NECK.

IT SAYS ON THE BACK: MARTIN LOW PITCH 83XXX AND IT SAYS ON THE BELL MARTIN HANDCRAFT ELKHART IND. THE ENGRAVING IS FLORAL AND VERY PRETTY. HOWEVER, THE SAX REALLY NEEDS TO BE POLISHED AND OVERHAULED. T WILL PLAY JUST DECENTLY AS IT IS AND THE PADS ARE VERY OLD AND COULD EVEN BE ORIGINAL. THE TONE HOLES ARE BEVELLED. IT WILL NEED ALL TAT IS NEEDED DURING AN OVERHAUL, POLISHING, OILING, REPADDING AND EVERYTHING TO BE PUT TO ITS BEST PLAYING/LOOKING CONDITION.

SOME OF TE GOLD APPEARS TO BE SHINY, SOME APPREARS TO BE SATIN. THERE ARE SOME SMALL DINGS AND A FEW VERY SOFT DENTS. THE BELL IS STILL NICE AND ROUND AND THE BOTTOM IS NOT FLAT. THE MAIN THING TO MENTION ABOUT DENTS IS THAT THE OCTAVE KEY GUIDE ON THE NECK WAS SMUSHED IN AND A MEDIUM DENTING OF IT BACKWARDS AND KNOCKED THE GUIDE LOOSE, AND IT WAS STUCK BACK ON SOMEHOW, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE CORRECTLY SOLDERED ON. IT TRIED TO GET PICS OF THAT AREA.

IT ALSO HAS SOME SCUFFING AND SCRATCHING AND THE LIKE FROM YEARS OF USE. THE OLD ORIGINAL CASE IS STILL INTACT AND STURDY BUT SHOWS DEFINITE WEAR, ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO MOUTHPIECE OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY WHAT IS PICTURED IS INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
