162,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone with 97% original lacquer. Here's an early medium bow Mark VI alto saxophone in excellent original condition. Selmer experimented with various bow lengths and ultimately went to the medium bow approximately a year before this horn was produced. The medium bow has the best combination of great intonation and excellent tone. These earlier medium bow Mark VI's have an excellent reputation, and this horn certainly fits into that category. The sound has some nice power, with clarity and focus. I find it easy to project on this horn. It has a great lead alto voice. 

The overall condition is excellent, with about 97% original lacquer remaining. There was some dent/repair work performed by the previous owner around the low C/Eb posts. Additionally, there is a small amount of lacquer missing around the high F and E tone holes, most likely caused by dentwork. Everything has been sorted out on this horn and it is ready to play. 

The sax just received a 2016 overhaul from the previous owner. The pads are in new condition and are sealing perfectly. The action and response feels smooth and even. The sax comes in a ProTec case in excellent condition.
