218,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, Original Lacquer, Just Serviced, Video
Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone, s/n 218644. Here's a late Mark VI that was recently overhauled by its previous owner prior to sale. My tech just serviced the horn and replaced one pad, the neck cork and two key corks. The sax is feeling locked in and playing extremely well in all registers. The sax comes in a Bam Case which although has seen better days, it gets the job done. One zipper no longer functions.
I'm a huge fan of Mark VI tenors in the 200 serial number range. They tend to have some extra power and depth to their sound. This one doesn't disappoint. The sound on this tenor is enormous, and really has top notch presence and projection. The tone is on the darker side, but in no way stuffy. Make no mistake, this is a world class tenor that is a great value in the Mark VI world.
