Hey guys,

I just finished up an overhaul on a 1938 Committee II in excellent shape and was struck by its beauty, both as I worked on it and as a completed and playing musical instrument.

Take a look, I hope you enjoy it.

Matt, thanks for sharing the story and the pictures. This week I completed overhauls on an alto/tenor pair of Martin Comm I's and a Comm II tenor. All three were in bad shape and required hours of dent work. They cleaned up nice and play like buttah. With a more aggressive mouthpiece, they'll scream, too.

The Comm I and II are basically the same horns with different bell flares. In my opinion, the Comm II is the most beautiful Martin model due to its key guards.
