This Martin Handcraft C Melody is currently adding ambiance to my house, while waiting patiently for its turn at a restoration. I got it a number of years ago from a friend, in exchange for some saxophone lessons. I’m not sure exactly when, but I will have it restored one day. Unfortunately I don’t have many opportunities to play a C-pitched tenor; so this horn is not too high on the restoration totem pole at the moment (since I already have a straight-neck Conn that doesn’t get used).
