Selmer Mark VI - Tenor Saxophone (M.235760)

Product Information

The Selmer Mark VI is the most celebrated saxophone ever made. Produced in Paris from 1954, it is the horn that defined the sound of modern saxophone playing and the benchmark against which every other saxophone is still measured.

Players spend years chasing the Mark VI character, that combination of a rich, complex core, immediate response and a key action that feels alive under the hand. Each one is slightly different, which is part of the appeal, and a good example remains a genuinely professional instrument rather than a museum piece. On a Mark VI the serial and the year of manufacture matter, as they affect both the character of the horn and its value.

This particular example is in well used condition, as you would expect from a horn of this age and stature. All pads have been replaced on this instrument with premium pads with plastic resonators. There are specks of lacquer wear all down the body of this particular instrument with the silver-plated keywork looking pretty good overall apart from a large patch of plating loss on the surface of the RH F key pad cup. Like all our pre-owned instruments it has been fully checked and set up in our workshop prior to sale by one of our experienced technicians, so you can buy with total confidence.

It is supplied with a shaped hardshell zip case and Berg Larsen metal mouthpiece. At this price it represents a considerable saving on the new equivalent, and it is ready to play from the moment it arrives.
