E.K. Blessing Artist Model - Martin Stencil 1960's - Lacquer

E. K. Blessing Artist Model alto saxophone. Kind of a rare bird as it is a Martin built saxophone. As, Buescher, was the main manufacturer for the E.K. Blessing Artist model. But, very few were the Artist model. Most Blessings made by Martin were brass body with brass keywork. The Artist model came with nickel keywork. Heavy and solid as any vintage Martin saxophone would be. Matching serial number neck. Plays up and down the register. Could use a slight repair to the lower Eb key guard. But, didn't affect my playing all the way to low B flat. It did not come with a case when I bought it but I will add a soft case storage and shipping. Martin did make cheap student line Blessing saxophones, NOT to be confused with the older E.K. Blessing though.

 ALL of my saxophones are from a smoke free home with humidity and temperature regulation. Most are in the same condition I purchased them in years ago.

Door pick-up available in Springfield, IL. North end, or shipping.

Sax  will be bubble wrapped and boxed for shipping (if needed). Shipping at buyers expense and WILL include extra insurance. I will need your Zip code.

NOTE: SHIPPING I Don't  like some of the forced options for shipping. USPS is cheap, BUT, has been a disaster with damaged shipments and 10-15 days to get your items. I will only use UPS and FEDEX.

  I will be listing other vintage saxophones and stencils. Please don't ask if I have .......   I will list them as life's priorities allow. NO I don't have any high end Selmer.

Thank you for your interest. Please ask questions if you have any PRIOR to purchase. As all are sold as-is, as-seen.
