Martin TR4501 Urbie Green Model Vintage 1978

Martin TR4501 Urbie Green Model.  This horn was made around 1978.  Most of the TR4501's have had the curved hand brace, this one is a traditional brace. The solder joints appear to be all factory, so it was made with a straight grip.  The instrument is all original parts and lacquer.  The handslide is very straight and free of defect, no plating loss on the inners- is actually a great slide.  Also, the bell diameter is approx 7.75", later TR4501 had the 8" bell.  This would be a great lead/jazz/commercial style horn for any serious player.  Comes with original case.   Mouthpiece not included.
