Lovely condition original lacquer Mark VI tenor.

Condition: Good condition

Age: 1970

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 181XXX which makes its year of production 1970. It is a great example of a late Mark VI tenor and is finished in its original lacquer with silver plated keys. There is no evidence of any major past repairs or soldering and it is in lovely condition for its age. It plays with a big warm muscular sound that these late VI’s are famous for. Its nicely padded in Pisoni premium deluxe pad and just had a service in the workshop ready for its next owner.

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
