98,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, Original Lacquer, Fresh Overhaul
1962 Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone, s/n 98183. This saxophone has its original lacquer, with approximately 92% present. This is a fantastic saxophone from one of the best years that Selmer made saxophones. Chris Potter plays a Mark VI tenor made only a few months before this one.
This sax is in excellent physical and mechanical condition. It just received a full mechanical overhaul from Mike Livingston, who does fantastic work. He affixed the sax with plastic resonators, which is what this sax originally came with. The neck is original to the sax and has never been bent down. There are two resoldered key guard feet.
This horn is a treat to play. There is wonderful energy and vibration to the sound. The sax has great dynamic range and feels easy to push or whisper. The low range pops out with absolute ease down to low Bb. The sax comes in a top of the line Bam Cabine case, which retails for over $500.
