{"product_id":"selmer-mark-vii-tenor-saxophone-246522","title":"1976 246,xxx Selmer Mark VII Tenor Saxophone, Original Lacquer","description":"\u003cp\u003e1976 Selmer Mark VII tenor saxophone, s\/n 246522. This sax was just serviced by my repairman prior to sale. He regulated the pads so they are sealing great. The pads are still in great shape with a lot of life left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sax has its original lacquer with around 50% still intact. You'll find a lot of Mark VII saxophones with significant lacquer loss. I see this more often with Mark VIIs than with Mark VIs or later Selmers beginning with the Super Action 80. I'm not sure why this is the case, but with a Mark VII sometimes you have to embrace the vintage character that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis horn's voice is distinctly vintage Selmer. It has a gorgeous darker core but can easily project when you push it. The entire range speaks freely down to low Bb. A good Mark VII tenor remains one of the best values in vintage Selmers, giving you a lot of the sound and character of an older Selmer without spending thousands more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43749820104767,"sku":null,"price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5373\/files\/sell-your-saxophone_70of78.jpg?v=1786797736","url":"https:\/\/www.dcsax.com\/products\/selmer-mark-vii-tenor-saxophone-246522","provider":"DC Sax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
