Martin Pan American tenor

Well here's a neat old horn for you to check out.   This tenor saxophone is labeled Pan American which is the classic Conn made "student" or second line horn by the folks at CG Conn.   However,  this one is NOT made by Conn!  Apparently in the later 50's the contracted to have Martin make horns for them with the Pan American engraving.  This horn is one of them,  bearing all the classic features of a Martin made horn, in fact this horn is identical to a Martin Indiana except for the key guards as far as I can tell.   This horn showed up at my door very dinged up, missing pads,  bent keys, broken side Bb key.
Many hours later this is the end result.  Certainly showing some signs of use,  lacquer loss, some evidence of past abuses,  some bad previous solder jobs (not by me!),  but it plays and sounds awesome!  I used Ferrees pads for this horn,  which I tend to use for almost everything,  this horn was set up with flat metal resonators. 
There wasn't anything out of the ordinary that needed done on this horn, but ALOT of basic work:  dents and dings needed ironed out,  some posts needed resoldered,  key guards needed resoldered,  broken needle and flat springs,  tone holes leveled,  many bent keys,  some bent key rods,  minor slop in the keywork leading to swedging and pivot countersinking,  etc.
All in all this horn is very comfortable to play and has a gorgeous Martin tone!
