Selmer made, and named the reference 54 in homage to their most famous saxophone ever, the much revered Mk VI. Whether they have captured the magic of the Mark VI is a matter of opinion, but they have created a wonderfully flexible and expressive sounding horn which blows very freely and feels amazing under the fingers.

This one was made in 2011 and looks gorgeous finished in a dark honey gold lacquer. It has been used and as such isn’t in perfect condition. There is some lacquer loss but no dents or dings and no signs of any major repairs or solder work. The neck is spot on with no sign of pull down or any other repair. It benefits from a nearly fresh re-pad from sax guru Steve Crow and as such feel amazing under the fingers. It plays with a wonderful rich, warm tone with a thick core and an edge when pushed.

As with all of our instruments, trials are both recommended and encouraged. Please book an appointment or get in touch if you would like any more information.
