If you always wanted your own early Martin Committee large bore, but you cant afford the present prices, you are in luck. As you see, this 1948 horn has the rare 3 on the valve casing, making it one of the most cherished horns in jazz. This horn plays great, sounds great. It is a raw brass horn no lacquer nickel accents The 3. Slide ring is not original but functions as it should. I bought this in February 2019, the previous owner wrote, This horn has been played in the NYC scene for many years. Its been repaired and patched through the years. All patches were done and added over the years before I got this horn. Horn appears to have been played non-stop so that is why the player was adding patches to protect the horn. These are protective by nature patches. The valves move great and the horn plays awesome. In this case the patches possibly are for sound benefit and these add to weight very slightly. If you are looking for a player this is it! This horn does have great visual mojo, and looks as if its owner must perform a lot. I took this horn in to the repair shop last week to make sure it was ready for sale. The head repairman said those protective patches all made sense and the horn was totally stable. And then he mentioned that the 1. Valve button was non-original which I hadnt noticed before while playing, but you can see that in the finger buttons close-up shot.
