<<<I know the feeling on the Martins!!! I spoke to D. Liebman about this
a couple of yrs ago and he said he even thought about changing his Mark
VI for a Martin (tenor)!!??>>>

It depends entirely on which version of the Martin is being discussed.
Many people think the Martin model 400 tenor was an excellent
instrument, but the Martin Indiana was a different story. I used to own
one. It was a pretty good instrument, probably as good as any
present-day student-line saxophone with the possible exception of the
Yamaha, but not a professional quality horn by any means.
