Hi SOTW,
I've been looking around for a new horn lately. I want a different sound than what I'm getting from my YTS-62II.
I was browsing craigslist, and I found two Martin tenors for sale. One was a Martin Committee, serial 19xxxx. It has original lacquer, and the seller claims it's in playing condition. He wants $1400.
The other horn is a The Martin tenor. Its 176xxx, and satin silver with a polished silver bell. It's in awesome cosmetic and playing condition. The seller wants $1600.
I've done some research, and these seem like really good deals. I'm really looking to get a darker and fatter overall sound that has more core, while still being very powerful. I've read that Martins have the sound that I'm looking for. Is this the case? I've also heard that they have intonation issues.
I'm currently playing a laser trimmed Guardala MBII from WWBW, and I was considering trying some of the Theo Wanne pieces. I'd also like to hear your opinions on what I should in the way of mouthpieces.
I look forward to reading the responses!
