I’d love the aesthetic of the Typewriter. Believe it or not I do have a Martin. An old relacquered Bb bari.

Not one of the high end Martins - probably a student model. Light gold lacquer, nickel plated keywork. Hasn’t been out of the case for years except when on loan to a friend’s daughter.

Just too lazy to haul it around. Still has the original hard case. That thing looks bomb proof. 😀

It does sound great but works better with older pickle shaped mouthpieces. Didn’t seem to like the more modern pieces with some baffle.

I’d kind of like to do this version of “You Know I’m No Good” and if we do - I’ll bust out the bari.

That track reminds me of Bruce Brown’s Endless Summer score 😎 !
I do know a local guy that has a Typewriter Bari silver plate FS. Would look great on stage or video.
I take no responsibility for GAS 🤣

You are a very bad man. Pics, please. 😀

Even thought I’m a hard core funkateer there’s something about that surf rockish vibe that i dig.
