86,xxx Selmer Mark VI Soprano Saxophone, 99% Original Silver Plated, High F#, Overhauled
1960 86,xxx Selmer Mark VI soprano saxophone. Here is an incredibly rare, remarkably preserved 5-digit Selmer soprano that is in the most coveted serial number range of Mark VI sopranos. The silver plating is nearly 100% present. Even the touch points show little to no wear, indicating that this sax has not been played much in its lifetime. There is moderate wear throughout the sax, but the overall look and condition is quite excellent for its age. This horn also has a rare high F#. The sax comes in a brand new Bam Trekking case.
This soprano sax has an unbelievable sound and feel that is unrivaled. It's beautiful and complex, full and silky. There's a reason why this serial number range for sopranos is the most coveted. I don't think there's a more unique, quality Mark VI soprano out there.
The sax was just overhauled by Aaron Barnard, who is one of the very best and in demand repairmen out there. He uses top of the line parts including Pisoni Pro pads. His work really puts this horn into a different class, as the action feels smooth and the entire range pops out with ease. This is a can't miss horn that is absolutely unique and rare.
