| Martin Handcraft "The New Master"
Hello, all
I just picked up an old Martin Handcraft at an antique store.
It's a Martin Handcraft "The New Master". The serial number indicates a 1929 date of manufacture. It has a silver bell, with rather nice engraving. The body of the horn is brass. It doesn't however, have the loop in the leadpipe that the Dasants have.
I may try and post photos later, if possible.
Does anyone know anything about this model? Mine is in excellent shape, only a few dings in the crook. It's a real tight leadpipe-bell wrap, and has long, narrow braces.
It came with the original, terribly musty case, and the original Martin "Elkhart Indiana No. 8" mouthpiece.
Hopefully somebody out there will know what I bought!!
Thanks
~
