In 1961 Martin became part of Roundtable of Musical Craftsmen (RMC), the company formed by Paul Richards that combined Martin with Reynolds and Blessing. When RMC dissolved a couple years later, Wurlitzer picked up the rights to the Martin brand. Leblanc bought the Martin name in 1971, moved the operation to Kenosha, Wis. And stopped producing the Committee model for a while, though it continued to make custom versions for Miles Davis. When they reintroduced the Committee, it was a different design and a decent horn by all accounts. But it wasnt the Committee that seduced generations of jazz listeners and performers with its creamy, mocha java, almost flugel-like timbre. Conn-Selmer bought Leblanc in 2004 and discontinued the Martin line altogether a few years later. Create listings that get noticed! With Auctiva’s 1,800+ Templates. Track Page Views With.
