Vintage Gold Plated Martin Handcraft Alto Saxophone — Fully Restored
The Martin Handcraft is one of the most respected American-made saxophones ever produced. Built in Elkhart, Indiana, these horns were handmade to a standard that set them apart from the factory instruments of their era. Players who know vintage saxophones seek them out specifically — the key work has a feel that's hard to describe until you've played one, and the tone is full, warm, and rich in a way that modern horns rarely replicate.
This one has been fully restored. The keys are mechanically fit — smooth, even action with no clatter or slop — and all pads and key materials have been replaced. It's not a display piece. It plays beautifully and is ready to be used.
The gold plating adds warmth to both the look and the sound. Gold plate was a premium finish when these horns were made, and it remains one of the most striking ways a vintage horn can come to you.
The original case is included, though we'd strongly recommend picking up a replacement for regular use or travel.
If you've been looking for a vintage horn with real character, solid provenance, and a full restoration behind it, this is a rare find.
