    Description

    1939 Martin Imperial Cornet, refurbished, very good condition, with case and mouthpiece. Condition is "Seller refurbished".
    This Coronet belonged to my father, who played it through grade school and high school, taking a #1 rating at the Iowa state music contests his senior year by triple tonguing the “Carnival of Venice”, and subsequently used this horn throughout his professional career as a musician. I
    have had this coronet in my possession since prior to his passing in 2013. I’ve researched the serial numbers 131515 located on the middle valve, right side, telling me that this is an early 1939 model. It comes with a #7 mouthpiece and the original case.
    The horn was refurbished around 2008 and is in very good condition. It has not been played since. The original case is in poor condition, but is still usable. A cardboard box will encompass the case protected by wrapping material for shipping.
    I find it very hard to find flaws in the appearance of the horn. However, below the mouth piece tube there is a chrome tube with some discoloration where it was soldered together in the refurbishing
    process. The bell has a lion with MARTIN Handercg and hartlnd USA inscribed. (difficult to get clear picture because of the reflection).
