C-melody saxophone with its own character
The Lyon & Healy by Martin is a rare vintage C-melody saxophone for players looking for something different from a standard alto or tenor. This pre-owned instrument is known for its warmer, softer tone and a full, rounded sound with a touch of vintage edge, giving the sax a very distinct personality.
Because this C-melody is tuned in C, you can play with piano, guitar, or voice without transposing. That makes this model especially appealing for creative players who want to work directly in concert pitch.
Built by Martin
On this Lyon & Healy C-melody, Martin’s signature is clearly present in both sound and construction. The solid vintage build matches the instrument’s character, while the slightly more compact feel contributes to comfortable playability.
The silver finish also gives this vintage saxophone a classic look that suits its historical character. For collectors and enthusiasts, it is a remarkable piece of musical history.
Pre-owned saxophone professionally checked
This pre-owned saxophone has been professionally checked before sale. At Magna Music, that is done in the in-house workshop, where the keys are adjusted, the rods are oiled, the pads are cleaned, and the instrument is fully play-tested; if an overhaul is needed, the saxophone is completely disassembled and rebuilt with new pads and corks.
That makes this vintage C-melody saxophone interesting for saxophonists seeking a distinctive sound, and also for players who want an unusual model with Martin’s familiar craftsmanship.
