126,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone 99%+ Original Lacquer
1965 Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone, s/n 126171. This saxophone is exactly 600 numbers away from John Coltrane's saxophone, which is s/n 125571. This one is in remarkable original condition and over 99% of the original lacquer remains. The neck is original to the horn and has a matching serial number. It has never been bent down. The bell flare is perfect as well and has never been bent. There is remarkably little wear on the body of the sax. The main area of wear is near that lower RH thumb hook, from honest playing.
The previous owner overhauled the sax before I acquired the horn, and the pads are still in new condition. The sax plays well as-is, but could benefit from a service from its next owner to ensure that the pads seal perfectly.
