76,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Near Mint, Medium Bow, Video, WOW!
1958 76,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone with approximately 98% original lacquer. This is a stunning 5-digit medium bow Mark VI alto. This is a very rare medium bow, 5-digit horn, which Selmer only produced for about a year before switching to the long bow. Selmer eventually returned to the medium bow nearly a decade later, having found that this version had the best combination of intonation, sound and playability. These 5-digit medium bow altos have that excellent intonation and playability, but have that killer sound that makes this vintage famous for both altos and tenors.
This sax has almost all original pads and metal resonators. The sax is playing ok in its current condition and it's possible to get around in most registers, but it should be serviced or overhauled before it's in perfect playing condition. The sax comes in its original case. The neck is original to the horn and has a matching serial number. It has never been bent down.
