87,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, 90% Original Lacquer, Medium Bow, Overhaul, Video
1960 87,xxx Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone. If you're looking for a Mark VI that the best of the best, look no further. This is a medium bow, 5-digit horn that just received a top of the line overhaul from one of the best in the business. Selmer experimented with different bow lengths in the 1950's and made a very small run of medium bow altos like this one. Most agree that the medium bow was Selmer's best Mark VI alto design. The best bow length, added to the fact that this has the 5-digit Selmer sound and build quality, makes this a tremendous Mark VI.
Eric Beach performed a full mechanical overhaul on this horn, and the result is fabulous. He uses top of the line materials including Pisoni Pro pads. His work is top notch, and this horn feels 100% locked in. The sax comes in its original case, and both latches work. The neck is original to the horn and has never been bent down.
This is a one-owner horn, passed along to me by the owner's wife. It still has its original coat of lacquer. This horn has a rare optional high F# key, which is a must have for many saxophonists.
