I love my Martin tenor and alto the tenor is from1954 the alto was made in 1949 like me . I got the tenor from a pawn shop in Brooklyn for 120.00 she was broke, had a big dent on the D key but there was just something about her that drew me to her. I had a friend who played alto who told me to take here up to a guy on 48th street, when he saw her he said " this is a great horn it's a Martin a poor man's Selmer ",I can fix it give me a week. I love the lush sound and the American craftsmenship of these horns.
This sounds great, American brash at its best, I've got one of these 36 numbers away from this horn, so made the same week I'd guess, mine's silver plate and sounds darker but the sound is big and beautiful. I'm used to my old Selmer so hardly play my Martin, but this vintage of Martin's sound as good as anything made:)
Tyler is a beast. Such warmth and passion. Beautiful video and playing!

My 160k Comm. III is my main horn. Easily the most underrated "vintage" tenor by far.

I love my Martin so much! This one’s a Beaut! Sounds magnificent
Colossal Tone !
Sounds amazing. I know this song...but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. What is this song called?
I remembered! It is Doxy by Sonny Rollins. Great tune and you sound amazing on it! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous! Which strap do you use BTW?
that's the Marmaduke Feather strap. you can see the brand on the label. it looks like version IV, same one I've got.
