Martin Trumpet and Cornet Cases

Below is a limited quantity of the case examples that I have available to show. This does cover most of the range created. For the best information on case designs and when they were available, and in which finished I like to refer to the original catalogs. You can find most of these at the excellent The Sax Museum website - they probably have the best collection assembled of original Martin Catalogs and price lists ever assembled.

You can click each of the below to view additional images of each case in higher detail. These represent the 1930's to late 1950's era of cases.
