I used to have a Martin Frere. Soft-soldered tone holes, I think, and pathetic sound. Maybe even the pad cup arms were soft soldered to the hinge tubes.
Terrible thing! I think it was trashed.

I remember the ones that had the elongated body where the tenon was about an inch and a half long with a hole for the Eb.
