Description

Antique student cornet circa 1939, Indiana model (featuring the earlier “Superlative” design) with Indian head by the Indiana Band Instruments Company. Features mother of pearl inlays on the buttons and E-Z-Tone mouthpiece. “The Martin Band Instrument Company was incorporated in early 1906 following the death of the family patriarch, John Henry Martin, in late 1905. He had previously formed the J. H. Martin Band Instrument Company in 1904 but there are no known
instruments with this marking. His son, Charles Henry Martin, was the leader of this enterprise and had been working for Conn since 1881. In 1928 the owners of Martin founded the Indiana Band Instrument Company to make lower-priced band instruments for the student market. The first ones didn’t carry the Martin name but were made in the same factory and used their own serial numbers.”
