Vintage 1934 Handcraft Martin Imperial Tenor Saxophone Brilhart Mouthpiece Case
Item History & Price
Nice vintage Handcraft Martin Imperial saxophone. Sax is an estate find. I believe this is a Tenor sax. Serial number is 111390. Serial number also matches on the neck. Should date between 1933 and early 1935. Comes with case with Martin emblem inside, Brilhart Ebolin 4* mouthpiece and neck strap.Saxophone does show wear but I don’t see any major dings or dents. Mainly the wear is oxidation. Lots of oxidation can be seen inside horn/bell. Keys and pads show normal wear but seem to be... in good shape overall. There is one key that stays open with no tension when pressed. Brilhart mouthpiece and brass cap are in excellent condition. Very minimal use. Mouthpiece doesn’t seem to have any serial number listed. Case shows wear on the side and it looks like handle has been taped. Normal age wear inside but in very solid shape overall. Overall a nice vintage model that could be much better with a proper cleaning and a little tlc.
Will be packed very well for safe delivery.

I HAD A MEMBER ASK ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE DENTS ALONG THE THUMB REST. I DO NOT SEE ANY ALONG THE THUMB REST BUT I DID FIND ONE SMALL INDENTATION I MISSED TOWARD THE BOTTOM KEY ON THE SIDE OF THE BOW. ALSO, SOME SCUFF LINES ALONG THE BOTTOM OF BOW. REALLY SEEMS MINOR BUT I HAVE TO MENTION SINCE I DID NOT CATCH THE INDENTATION PREVIOUSLY.
I WILL TRY TO ADD MORE PHOTOS BELOW, BUT NOT SURE IT WILL WORK WITH EBAY'S NEW POLICY ON ACTIVE CONTENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PHOTOS AND I WILL GLADLY SEND THEM TO YOU. THE PHOTO OF THE INDENTATION IS THE FOURTH FROM THE LAST PHOTO BELOW

I have this mouthpiece listed in a separate auction and the photo was mistakenly included in the photos above. I apologize for any confusion. On Jun-16-19 at 10:14:36 PDT, seller added the following information:Also, there is a photo above of a Selmer Ligature that should not have been included in the photos above. This Ligature is NOT included in this auction either but is included in a separate auction I have listed for another Brilhart mouthpiece. I'm frustrated that I did not catch these photos that shouldn't have been included. I'll blame it on the almost full moon. Again, sorry for any confusion.
