Circa 1960 Martin Indiana Bb Trumpet — Original Case & Martin #7 Mouthpiece

A Martin Indiana from around 1960, serial 76906, made in Elkhart, Indiana. It has crisp bell engraving featuring a chieftain head and comes with its original Martin-badged case and original Martin #7 mouthpiece.

The Indiana has an interesting place in Martin's history. The company's 1949 catalog emphasized that these instruments were made by the same craftsmen as its higher-priced trumpets, such as the Martin Committee. In the February 1960 price list, the Indiana Chieftain trumpet was offered in lacquered brass with a case for $147.50.

Condition notes:

• Overall excellent condition.
• Pistons and compression are excellent.
• No signs of red rot.
• One small ding in the bell bow.
• The bell bow has been pushed slightly toward the lead pipe.
• Everything appears original.
• Engraving is nice and sharp.

Please look closely at the photographs of the bell bow prior to purchasing this instrument.

The original case has its metal Martin emblem and purple lining. The original Martin #7 mouthpiece is included.
