    Description

    Indiana by Martin Vintage Alto Saxophone with adjustable right thumb rest.
    This saxophone is in nice condition and has been sitting in its case for most of its life.  Everything looks good overall but it could use a little cleaning to really make it shine.  Has minor dents and scratches, see pictures for details.  This sax does play in its current state, I managed to squeeze out a few notes that I remember from Junior High; but that isn't saying much.  :)
    Serial #55141 indicates this sax was made somewhere around 1957.  They made this model between 1942 and 1962 with serial numbers 26,000 through 96,000.  If you happen to know more specifics I'd love to hear from you.
    The case is in OK condition but it looks like maybe something spilled in the lower left corner, there is dark discoloration throughout and has a musty smell - needs a good washing and airing out.
    Includes everything you see in the pictures plus a leather neck strap, not sure if that reed has been used or not but I would suggest throwing it out and getting a new one.
    If you want to see more pictures let me know, ebay is limiting how many I can upload.

    Thanks for looking!
