According to her, he played it for one year in high school in 1959-60 and put it away. In fact, it's the sweetest woodwind/brasswind from this era that I've handled in many years.

At first glance I thought, No way. My first instinct was wrong.

After nearly cutting my finger on the edges of the engraving (not kidding), and looking more closely, I can say it's 100% original and gives off a very attractive warm lustre. There is a little spot on the key just below G (see photo) and a few super minor scratches around the strap hook and on the palm keys.

The neck and body have matching serial numbers. Absolutely no dents or signs of repair. No funk, no gunk, no crust, no rust.

The original pads (with smaller metal resonators), though still in excellent condition, will have to be replaced of course. Heck, even the neck cork is near perfect.

The original case is in wonderful condition as well. Two Martin mouthpieces and ligatures (nothing special) as well as a vintage sling strap are included along with some really cool period paperwork and sheet music.
