This is an outstanding 1951 Martin Committee III "The Martin" alto saxophone with 176*** serial number and matching neck that has just been restored and is ready to play. The instrument has just been disassembled  and cleaned, all pads replaced with metal domed resonator pads, key corks and felts replaced as needed,  mechanically adjusted and oiled and play tested, by an expert instrument technician. Other than the play test by the technician, it has not been played since being restored.  It looks like the instrument was likely re lacquered some time ago. The lacquer is 95% with only a few light  scratches in the expected places and some wear through on a few keys.  It is completely free from dents and dings with the exception of a tiny dent at the low C guard foot. The Neck and hard case are in excellent condition.  Since 2000 we have sold many, mostly professional, musical instruments and shipped them, well packaged, worldwide with 100% positive feedback on EBay, so buy with confidence. With any musical instrument, minor adjustments may be desired after shipping. Please message any questions-- We accept returns for any reason on musical instruments, initiated within seven days of buyer's  receipt, to provide plenty of time to inspect and play the instrument.
