Martin alto sax with Typewriter look
This Martin Handcraft Master "Typewriter" alto sax stands out immediately because of its fully mother-of-pearl covered keys. From table keys and palm keys to side keys, octave key, low C and Eb and all finger touches, nearly every contact point has this signature finish. It gives this alto saxophone its nickname as well as a distinctly nostalgic appearance.
The gold lacquer finish reinforces that classic character. If you are looking for a Martin alto sax that is visually different and also offers its own feel in operation, this is a model you will not easily overlook.
Characteristic sound and unusual feel
Martin introduced the Typewriter in 1929 as an artist-level saxophone. The fully mother-of-pearl key layout was initially seen as unconventional, but players soon discovered the sweetness of its sound. This Martin Handcraft also retains the warm and immersive tone associated with the famous Handcraft base design.
If you want a used alto sax with a characteristic sound and a distinctive playing feel, this instrument offers a personality of its own. That combination of appearance, history and handling makes this vintage Martin especially interesting to experience in person.
