Description: THIS IS A SILVER TONE ALTO SAX. ESSENTIALLY A MARTIN STENCIL HORN. I HAD A MARTIN ALTO IN THE SHOP LAST WEEK AND IT WAS EXACTLY THIS HORN BUT IT SAID "MARTIN" ON THE BELL. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO REMEMBER, "SILVERTONE" WAS THE BRAND NAME FOR SEARS & ROBUCK. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 311XX THAT DATES IT TO THE LATE 50'S EARLY 60'S. I HAVE HELD ON TO THIS SAX FOR A WHILE, A LITTLE RELUCTANT TO SELL IT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AMAZING. I DID A FEW THINGS TO THIS HORN. FIRST I GAVE IT AN ARTICULATED G-SHARP KEY, I SOLDERED BRASS KEY STOCK ONTO THE G-SHARP KEY SO YOU CAN PLAY G-SHARP WITH ANY OF THE LEFT HAND PINKY KEYS.ON OLDER HORNS LIKE THIS YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT. NOW YOU CAN. ALSO I REPLACED THE OLD UNCOMFORTABLE THUMB REST WITH A MODERN ERGONOMIC ONE. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. SAX LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OUT OF A TIME CAPSULE, IT'S PRETTY NICE. HORN REALLY SOUNDS GREAT.ALTISIMO ( UPPER NOTES PRODUCED WITH OVERTONES) JUMP OUT OF THIS HORN. LOWER AND MIDDLLE OF HORN ARE NICE AND FAT SOUNDING. BRIGHT BUT NOT TOO EDGY.NO MOUTHPIECE COMES WITH SAX YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SAX. COMES WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL CASE. CASE IS IN NICE CONDITION
