Vintage Martin Handcraft Committee Alto Sax, 1936, Seachlights, Skyline, Mars

This listing is for an Eb alto saxophone made by the Martin Company of Elkhart, Indiana. It is the sought-after “Handcraft Committee” model. It is also known as the “Committee”, “Searchlights”, “Skyline”, Mars Attacks Earth” and “Alien Invasion. The serial number is in the 116xxx series placing production in 1936. It was only produced 3 years. We disassembled the instrument and cleaned the keys and the body. All the pads were replaced with black kangaroo “Roo” pads with brass resonators. Some very minor dent work was done and all the corks and felts were replaced. The intonation, action and timbre is very good. This sax is both a collector piece and a solid player. The finish is original with normal wear. We acquired this saxophone from an estate of the original owner. Included is the original case in super excellent condition with the key, a Noblet mouthpiece outfit and a polishing cloth. This is a nice player and a great investment.
