Martin Handcraft Mater aka Typewriter alto saxophone

Here's a rare treat, a Martin Typewriter!  These were never called that by Martin but they are nicknamed that since the pearls look like typewriter keys.  These horns have a pearl on EVERY key, not a roller to be found!  It does take some getting used to but these can be totally playable once you get used to it.  This horn in particular needed major cleaning and polishing but the pads turned out to be mostly usable!  The build quality and sound are just like any other Martin sax, outstanding.
