{"product_id":"selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-75592","title":"1958 75,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, 99% Original Lacquer, Medium Bow, Video","description":"\u003cp\u003e1958 Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s\/n 75592. The lacquer is original and approximately 99% remains. This is a 5-digit medium bow alto from the late 1950's, the most desired vintage of Mark VI altos, period. A horn from this run with this much original finish is a rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe late 1950's medium bow altos tend to play differently from the late 1960's medium bow horns. The sound on this one is dark and centered, with a lot of power behind it. It also offers a wide palette of tone colors, so it adapts to whatever you ask of it. There is real depth here, and it keeps revealing more the longer you play it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also have a 74,xxx Mark VI alto in stock, listed separately, and the two are remarkably similar in sound and response. Listen to the video for each one to compare them. I have a tough time deciding which one I like more. Both are extraordinary horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is original to the sax with a matching serial number, and it has never been pulled down. There are no resolders, and the horn is very clean overall. It comes in a Selmer case with a case cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe previous owner had the sax overhauled just before I acquired it, so the pads are in new condition. My repairman then serviced it, and the horn plays effortlessly up and down the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1205\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_4SpGXnb_rk\" title=\"1958 Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone 75592 Demo | DC Sax\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44125626957887,"sku":"75592","price":10600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5373\/files\/75592_Selmer_Mark_VI_alto_8_of_23.jpg?v=1792095684","url":"https:\/\/www.dcsax.com\/products\/selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-75592","provider":"DC Sax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
