This rare instrument is in beautiful condition and is one of the finest altos we have in stock.
The serial number is 216084. Based on the Martin serial numbers, this would be a 1962 instrument.
In early 1961, the F.A. Reynolds Company, E.K. and Martin Band Instrument Company merged to form a new company called Richards Music Corp. Instruments produced by these companies all bear an engraved RMC logo. There is some debate as to whether the "RMC" in the logo stood for Richards Music Corp. or for the "Roundtable of Musical Craftsmen" as the group was informally known and appeared in advertisements.
