223,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, 98% Original Lacquer
223,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone with approximately 98% original lacquer. This is a GREAT example of a later Mark VI that is in truly excellent physical and mechanical condition. The neck is original to the horn and has never been pulled down. The bell flare is perfect and has never been bent down. There are zero dents and zero dent repairs, which is quite rare to find in a horn of this vintage. If I'm being hypercritical, there are 1-2 incredibly shallow dings on the bow, but they are minuscule and barely noticeable.
The previous owner was an LA based musician and had the sax overhauled by The Horn Connection in Hollywood shortly before putting the horn away for good. The pads are in fantastic shape and will be good for years. Since the horn had been sitting for a couple of years, I had my tech go through it and regulate the pads. They are now sealing perfectly, and the horn plays like it was just overhauled yesterday. The sax comes in a newer Selmer case, made by Bam.
