Saxophone fans, check out this beautiful Mark VI tenor that just walked into the shop! This tenor came to us in overall AMAZING shape. So much of the original dark honey cellulose lacquer from 1961 remains on this horn with the beautiful American engraving popping through and looking crisp. Take note of a small dent in the bottom bow and rooster. Unfortunately to fix this dent, the bottom rooster has to be removed and replaced therefore resulting in significant lacquer loss in that area. We found it was best to just leave this small dent in to preserve the originality of the horn. It in no way affects the playability of the horn. The original neck with matching serial number has no pull down or signs of pull down and is the correct angle and shape. The pads are older but functioning very well. This tenor just received a full comb through by our shop to ensure that everything is sealing as it should. This is a prime era for the Selmer Mark VI production timeline where some of the best tenors were made. This horn is certainly no exception! It has a powerful sound similar to a horn from the 80xxx Brecker serial range. All while maintaining the iconic lush Selmer core. Don't pass up on this tenor, it won't be here for long!
