Martin 1970s ‘Magna’ Eb Alto, #310k
$1,699/2,499..00 - Original finish with original neck. It is a later serial number, so the engraving script font changed, but all the other key components are there.
Buescher 1926 ‘True Tone’ Eb Alto, Series III, Silver #205k
$929.00 - A unique Buescher TT series III - with the G# roller. Goldwash bell looks like a rose-gold plating (more golden pink). Vintage silver lyre included. The body is very clean - no major or minor dents to mention. No solders upon my first inspection either.
Martin 1948 ‘The Martin Alto’ Eb Alto, #166,8xx
$1,599.00 - Here's a great Committee III Alto with some older, used pads that will be good for a while. It looks like 1990s age with plastic resos. There are some small dings and pings that I can work with and the bell lip edge is the worst of the damage to mention. Matching Serial # on the neck.
