    Description

    Martin Handcraft Phase II alto sax
    Rebuilt / restored
    Modified to Phase III with
    high C# adjuster
    Bevelled toneholes
    All blue needle springs new
    New pads with domed resonators
    New cork, felt and teflon
    New unoriginal soft bag included
    Mouthpiece not included
    Modified with high C# adjuster (*)
    High C# had a tendency to be somewhat on the sharp side, so Martin invented a mechanism on Phase III they named "high C# adjuster" that lowered the high C# to the correct pitch.
    The mechanism on this late Phase II is a copy of the mechanism from Phase III.
    These Handcraft Phase II / III models from Martin is my personal
    favourite and a play one myself.
    They have an incredible cool jazzy sound that's perfect for mainstream soft jazz as well as for harder music like bop, R&B, blues, rock and similar.
    The sax plays easily from top to bottom with the famous smoky Martin sound.
    The cosmetic condition of this sax is beautiful
    , just look at the pictures.
    One of the pictures shows however a minor tap mark at the lower front of the bell.
    Part from that, the cosmetic condition is just awesome.
    Study these carefully. What you see is what you get!
