Vintage 1958 Martin "The Indiana" Alto Saxophone w/ Case

Description

For your consideration is a a late 50's era "The Indiana" standard alto saxophone made by Martin band instruments. This saxophone (serial # 67306) is dated to 1958 and is a phase III according to the information provided by cafesaxophone.com, themartinhistory.net, and saxpics.com.
Saxophone is in very good shape with almost no wear to speak of. However, it does need a regulation and adjustment as many of the keys are leaky. With enough pressure, you can make the instrument play, but to get the best of the instrument, we recommend seeing your local repair technician. Before making an offer or placing an order, please factor in the regulation/adjustment costs as pricing can vary from shop to shop.
Case is functional, but is in rough cosmetic shape and is included in the offering mostly as a means to safely ship the instrument. Several scratches, scrapes, and duct tape sections are present. Latches and handle are working and instrument sits comfortably inside, but isn't recommended for long term use.
Listing does NOT included a mouthpiece, ligature, cap, or stand. Items included are neck, body, and case.
Thanks for your consideration!

*International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
We ship international items primarily by USPS. If item is too large, for that country’s size restrictions, it will not ship. As stated above, please get a shipping quote to find out if item can be shipped to your location.
On international sales a tracking number will always be posted. Often times, once the package clears customs, the tracking number is no longer useful and there is no way of determining the location or delivery status of the package. Because of this, international sales are final upon shipping of the items.
We will not change items type or sales amounts on customs forms. Please take this under advisement before bidding.
