Re: Martin Saxophones
The 1954 "The Martin Baritone" used in 2 of our bands is really a great sounding horn. My Conn tranny has a very sophisticated sound, but the Martin totally blows it away for R&B/Soul pops with a fat sound that is tremendous. The keywork may not be world class, but it is certainly adequate. The voice of the horn is rich, complex, and really strong when you need it. All the other musicians get pumped up by this bari. The midrange is full and has a nice even timbre and the top octave fairly sings. Sounds better than most other baris I've worked with. (Except, of course, my Mulligan!)
