223,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, 98% Original Lacquer
223,xxx Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone with 98% original lacquer. Here is a one-owner Mark VI that is in excellent original condition. The previous owner initially played this horn for a few years and has since sat in its case from around 1980 until now. The overall condition is excellent and the sax still has mostly original pads. The neck is original to the horn and has never been bent down. The case is original and in good condition. The F# key guard was previously repaired but everything else looks very clean. My repairman just serviced this horn and it's playing well from top to bottom. Some additional pad work is probably necessary in order to get it playing in tip top shape, but you could take this horn to a gig tonight.
Many players prefer these later Mark VI's around the 200,xxx serial number range because they tend to have incredible projection and liveliness. This one has incredible energy and response, and plays evenly from top to bottom. If you're looking for a Mark VI with a lot of guts and energy, look no further.
