' Martin Handcraft ' C Melody - 1931

.

Vintage bronze lacquer, late model. Good player  1931,  s/no 104xxx  - literally the last of the C-Melody line, lovely !!  I don't have a good enough camera to capture the real dark vintage lacquer colour - it's gorgeous. 

Modern action, gone are the quirky vintage forked Eb and G# trill keys.  High palm keys all sensibly long - no more  'button' palm keys.  Add to that the essential auxiliary Front-F mechanism, and you have a C-Melody and this is a delight to play.  Intonation is extremely good - a solid powerful horn with well preserved Martin case and accessories.            CURRENTLY NOT FOR SALE
