138,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, 95% Original Lacquer, Fresh Overhaul, High F#
1966 Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone with approximately 95% original lacquer. Here's a beautifully preserved one-owner Mark VI. This Mark VI is still a fairly early version and has many of the same characteristics of early 1960's horns. It's within a range of Mark VI's that doesn't to come up for sale very often, especially in this condition. The sound and feel is pretty incredible, as it captures the beauty and earthiness of an early Mark VI quite well but with a ton more focus. This sax generates a ton of sizzle and buzz that makes it very fun to play.
The sax is in incredible condition for its age. The neck is original to the horn and has never been bent down. It also has a high F#, which is a must for many players. The sax just received a full mechanical overhaul from Aaron Barnard, who is one of the very best in the business. He used Pisoni Pro pads and plastic resonators, which is what this horn originally came with. The sax comes in its original case that is in great condition.
