146,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, 98% ORIGINAL LACQUER, SANBORN S/N
1967 146,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone with 98% original lacquer. Here's an original lacquer Mark VI produced right in the middle of the very best alto saxophones that Selmer ever produced. Greats including David Sanborn and Kenny Garrett play and collect altos in this s/n range. Selmer experimented with various bow lengths and ultimately went to the medium bow shortly before this one was produced. The medium bow has the best combination of great intonation and excellent tone. For me, the 14x,xxx altos have some extra power, focus and depth to their sound.
The sax was just overhauled by the previous owner and is playing great. The sax has some minor dings including at the bottom of the bow, but the overall condition is excellent. There is no damage to the sax and it has never been resoldered. The case is original to the horn and is in incredible condition.
