200,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Video, Original Lacquer, Overhaul
Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s/n 200671. This sax has its original coat of lacquer, and approximately 90% remains. It was recently overhauled in 2023 by Randy Mueller. The pads are still in new condition and are sealing well. Randy used domed rivetless metal resonators, which are similar to 1950's Mark VI resonators.
Mark VI's around the 200,xxx serial number range are great horns and an excellent value. They tend to have an extra gear when you want to push the volume, but are still incredibly expressive instruments. Plus, the altos have a medium bow which is generally considered the best combination of excellent intonation, sound and response.
This saxophone was previously owned by a member of The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own". This was his primary alto saxophone for jazz applications.
