AllenLowe Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I've been avoiding this day, but I can no longer play the tenor due to my weakening hands (I switched to alto a few years back). Selling my Martin Handcraft tenor saxophone, late 1940s. Beautiful-sounding horn, will go on ebay unless someone here is interested. Some tarnish, plays beautifully top to bottom. This was the horn I used on sessions with Julius Hemphill, David Murray, Don Byron, Doc Cheatham, at the Knitting Factory and elsewhere. So it has a nice history. It blows very easily. I always used to a-b it with Mark VI's in the days when those were still relatively affordable, and I always perferred this baby. Not quite as easy an action as the Selmer's, but still fine, and with a sound that can't be beat. $1150 plus shipping in the US of A. Paypal, alowe5@maine.rr.com. just checking if there's any interest prior to Ebay. I'll probably have some pics by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I can sympathize. It's like when I sold my children into slavery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 well, they were probably bad children - but this is an innocent saxophone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 If a drum is a woman, then a tenor is that woman, the one that will eventually do anything you ask it to, the only thing asked in return being unqualified love and respect. After a life like that, she is anything but innocent. Find her a good home or risk the Karmatic Konsequences! (and, yeah, I'm laying it on just a little thick, but just a little...)

Ron S Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Allen, is that the sax that you played on my voicemail the other day? 'Cause that one sounded like SHIT--like it was being played over the telephone, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
