Martin "Indiana" Alto Sax - Info Needed!
I recently bought a Martin alto sax on ebay, pretty inexpensively. Inscribed on the bell is the wording, "The Indiana by Martin, Elkhart, Ind." The serial number is 34101, which according to my research, indicates it was made about 1922. It also has beveled tone holes. It needs repadding and some key rod repairs. The horn is unplayable now. Before I put money into an overhaul, is anyone familiar with the Martin "Indiana?" Does it play well (for an early '20s horn) or are there intrinsic problems? Any information and/or advice would be appreciated.
