Stunning original lacquer Mark VI tenor.

Condition: Wonderful condition

Age: 1959

Selmer Mk VI saxophones are probably the most revered of all the vintage horns. Played worldwide by discerning professionals as well as being sought after by collectors, they are wonderful instruments. Production started in 1954 and ran until 1975 and most modern saxophones since then have been, in one way or another, an attempt at a Mk VI copy. They really should be on the trial list for any serious player.

This Mark VI tenor has the serial number 81XXX which makes its year of production 1959. It is a wonderful example of horn from the golden era of Mark VI tenors. The 80XXX range of tenor saxophones is one of the most desirable eras for Mark VI’s and with good reason. This horn is finished in its original lacquer and is in beautiful condition. There is no signs of any major past repairs and no solder repairs anywhere. It has been beautifully padded with Pisoni premium deluxe pads and looks, feels, and sounds every bit as good as you’d expect from a horn of this calibre. A fabulous player and collectors item.

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
