223,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, 99.9% Original Lacquer, Near Mint, WOW!
1974 223,xxx Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone in near mint condition. Here is a one-owner sax who used it for half of a concert band season and then put it away for the next 45 years. The saxophone is in fantastic original condition and barely looks like it's been used. Everything is original: pads, corks, felts, etc. There are no repairs. Other than the neck and bell flare showing a little bit of wear, it could pass for a brand new horn straight from the Selmer factory. The action feels crisp and tight as you'd expect. Despite sitting in its case for so many years, the pads are sealing surprisingly well. The new owner may want to get the pads adjusted or replaced, but I could take this horn to a gig tonight. There aren't that many Mark VI's left in this type of condition, and it's one of the cleanest looking horns I've ever gotten in. The sax comes in its original case, also in excellent condition.
