THIS ITEM IS A RELISTING DUE TO AN UPDATE IN ITS DESCRIPTION. IT PLAYS BETTER THAN I PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. IF YOU HAVE EVER WANTED ONE OF THESE THAT WILL PLAY AS IT IS AT A GOOD PRICE, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!I WILL REFUND ANY SHIPPING OVERPAY.PLEASE READ THIS LENGTHY AND HONEST DESCRIPTION BEFORE BUYING THIS VINTAGE MARTIN TENOR SAX. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO BUY THIS WHO NEEDS SOMETHING BETTER AND OR DIFFERENT.IT SAYS ON THE BELL: THE INDIANA BY MARTIN ELKHART INDTHIS VINTAGE MARTIN TENOR S...AX WILL PLAY RIGHT NOW AS IT IS PRETTY DARN WELL AND IT WILL REALLY WAIL WHEN NEEDED AND HAS A TREMENDOUS VIBRATION TO IT. BUT... IT IS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS. MY TESTER SAID YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE IT GONE OVER BY YOUR GUY BECAUSE OF ITS OLD USED VINTAGE CONDITION. MY TESTER MADE A SHORT VIDEO OF HIM PLAYING IT. I CAN SEND THE VIDEO TO YOU UPON REQUEST. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE FINISH WEAR AND DENTING AND BLEMISHING OVER THE HORN AND I REALLY TRIED TO GET THE BLEMISHING TO SHOW. THE WORN FINISH IS SOME KIND OF HAZY DULLISH BRASSYISH COLOR AND IS THE SAME ON THE KEYWORK AND PAD CUPS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE Eb KEY GUARD HAS BEEN KNOCKED OFF AND IS MISSING. THE SERIAL # IS 757XX AND MATCHES ON THE NECK. THIS WILL REALLY PLAY PRETTY WELL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOW Bb WITH NOT TOO MUCH EFFORT. EVEN THOUGH THE PADS ARE OLDER, THEY ARE STILL PLENTY GOOD. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, I CANNOT FIND ANY PADS WITH TEARS OR DAMAGE. THE OWNER HAS IT ADJUSTED TO THE WAY HE LIKES IT. YOU WILL WANT IT ADJUSTED TO YOUR LIKING. YOU MAY EVEN WANT TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY OVERHAULED TO ADD IT TO YOUR FINEST COLLECTION OR FOR YOUR RESELLING BUSINESS, BUT IF YOU JUST WANT IT TO HAVE AS A KNOCK AROUND SAX OR FOR FUN STUFF, JUST DO YOUR BIT OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES TO IT AND HAVE AT IT! AGAIN, IT DOES PLAY PRETTY WELL AS IT IS. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, I CANNOT FIND ANY SOLDER ISSUES OR PREVIOUS SOLDER ISSUES, EXCEPT THE MISSING BRACE. THE BELL IS STILL IN GOOD ROUND CONDITION AND THE BOTTOM BOW OF THE SAX IS NOT FLAT, ONLY SOME SOFTER SHALLOW DENTS NEAR THE BOTTOM. THE PEARLS ARE GOOD. IT COMES WITH A NON ORIGINAL USED CASE IN PLENTY GOOD CONDITION, BUT NO MOUTHPIECE OR ANYTHING ELSE. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU NEED BETTER OR DIFFERENT. CHECK OUT THE PRICES OF OTHER MARTIN TENORS OF THIS VINTAGE AND PLAYING CONDITION WITH A MATCHING NECK! THIS IS A GOOD DEAL!I SHIP ECONOMY WITH INSURANCE AND SIGNATURE REQUIRED AND WILL ADD TRACKING INFO WHEN SHIPPED. I HAVE A 3 BUSINESS DAY HANDLING TIME. THE PRICE OF THE SHIPPING IS AS IT IS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WEIGHT. I WILL REFUND ANY SHIPPING OVERPAY. I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING OR CHARGE A HANDLING FEE LIKE MANY SELLERS. IT WILL BE WELL PACKED. SEE MY FEEDBACK. I LIST HONESTLY AND ACCURATELY.
