147,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, 97% Original Lacquer
1967 147,xxx Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone with approximately 97% original lacquer. This is a one-owner horn in excellent original condition. The pads and reusable resonators are all original. The neck is also original and has never been pulled down. The case is original and in good condition.
My repairman serviced the horn prior to sale. Although the pads are old, they are still in working condition and sealing well. The horn plays from top to bottom with ease.
I generally love the 14x,xxx tenors. For me, they tend to take on air easily and naturally, sort of like a nice SBA. The sound tends to be big and full without the brightness associated with some other vintages. This is an awesome playing and sounding horn. The sound is big and powerful, with more complexity and darkness that you would expect out of a good five digit horn.
