WTS 1949 Deluxe Martin Committee

Daff · 10-06-2008, 03:35 PM

Thanks for looking, but this hottie has a new home.

Guys, I am selling my 1949 Deluxe Martin Committee M bore, serial #170,xxx. I am the second owner. The horn is completely original, spotless leadpipe, no red rot, spotless valves. All parts move as they should.

The very talented Charlie Melk did the restoration work and she's simply gorgeous, in absolutely pristine condition. The floral engraving is crisp and clear. What else can I say? These horns speak for themselves.

$2,850.

Gorgeous! Why the sale??

Hey! How ya doing A.N.A.? (Have a real name BTW?)

It really is gorgeous, but I have decided to sell all but three of my Bb's, and maybe even paring back further to focus less energy on collecting and more on the music.

After having the many horns around, it's a relief to be done with the safari and collecting and to be as completely 'at home' as I am with the 'finalists', a Hub van Laar B4, a very nice1969 Strad, and a very nice Mt. Vernon Strad. No reason to lust for any others. These three are similar yet different, very well matched to my sound concept, response, and feel that I like in a horn, everything, so I'm done.

That's one gorgeous horn... but I know very well how that HVL plays ;)

Howdy Trent. Yup, really digging the van Laar.

Great! I'm going to save this, kind of like the way your wife saves those little things you do for years until that moment she needs it, then she pounces! It may be 6 months, or a year, or two but you will be back....Back to the chase! BACK WHERE YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT ESCAPE! Back where you belong....Looking for "THE ONE".........
