A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine pre-second-world-war American professional baritone saxophone – this 1935 Martin Handcraft Imperial is a particularly interesting vintage instrument, complete with its original neck and desirable soldered, beveled tone holes. Genuine 1930s Martin Handcraft Imperial in Eb, Low Bb.
Cosmetically, this is very much a player's instrument rather than a collector's example, with extensive original lacquer wear throughout. There are also some historic repairs, including evidence of previous soldering. These cosmetic signs of its long playing life give the saxophone plenty of character while the underlying vintage Martin construction remains intact. The Handcraft Imperial is renowned for its powerful, rich and distinctive vintage American sound, making this an excellent choice for a player looking for something rather different from a modern baritone saxophone.
This instrument is pre-loved and serviced to great playing order. Available for play testing in store. If you would like to know more about this baritone saxophone, please give us a call on (01202) 667320 or visit our Contact Us page.
