172,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone with 99% original lacquer. Here's a one-owner horn in a very desirable serial number range. The sax was played for 1-2 years when first purchased, and was recently serviced by the original owner prior to sale. There are a handful of pads that have been replaced, and the rest are original. The horn feels and responds like a new sax. The action is crisp and tight, and the pads seal well. Playing down to low Bb is easy on this horn.
This is a stunning Mark VI alto and one of my very favorite VI's I've ever tried. It takes on air with amazing efficiency and evenness. It can project like a great Mark VI, but it also has a ton of the vocal quality that a great Selmer can possess. The sound rings in a very pleasing way. The sax is in near mint original condition with few blemishes for a horn that will be 50 years old very soon. This is just an incredible horn and one that I may just keep for myself if it doesn't sell immediately. The sax comes in the original case that is in excellent condition.
