For sale is an absolutely gorgeous Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone!
This horn is a prime golden era Selmer serial #101,xxx with its matching serial number #101,xxx factory neck! Nearly or essentially a 5 digit horn.
This horn is a stunning closet queen condition horn!
This sax is an amazing playing saxophone!
This horn has just come out of the saxophone repair shop with extensive working being done!
This horn was completely broken down separated into pieces, cleaned, degreased, freshly oiled, fresh corks/felts adjustment material as needed, old pads cleaned, a few new pads changed, new neck cork, neck to body fitting, tightening/fitting of key work, a full next level setup on the horn, etc!
Aside from a few pads we changed, the horn is sitting on old pads. The old pads were cleaned, floated, adjusted, and the horn is a great playing sax! But ultimately it will be up to you if you ever do a fresh pad job on the horn. We did change a handful of pads! If you do change any more pads it will be a minimally evasive repair. Being we just did so so much work to the horn rebuilding it, we pretty much did the "overhaul" part, its just a matter of a tech sticking more fresh pads if you ever choose so.
Check out picture #7 the horn was just fully cleaned to the bone in our ultra sonic cleaner! This sax is a clean fresh tasting, fresh smelling horn! This is not a cheap process to get done.
This sax is currently playing top to bottom fully setup with no clicks, clanks, metal on metal, extra noise, extra motion, the horns key work is leak free
We try our best to not over hype horns play ability but this horn is just a beast of a player. The playing experience in this horn is very pleasant. The sax plays loud and proud with a potent creamy vintage tone you can only get on these!
Saxophone repair work is not cheap these days. It can take a long time to get repair work done and not everyone can be trusted with a horn like this. This horn had an serious amount of repair work to bring it back to life and is ready to play today!
The fact that this horn has just had the full repair service treatment for this sale is a massive value add.
Although quite beautiful this sax still has its fair share of various patina, metal wear, lacquer wear, scratches, knicks, dings, fleabites, metal wear of various colors, weld marks, repair marks and other anomalies associated with an old used horn sax. The horn is amazing, we just want to make sure were stating its a still an old used horn.
The horn includes its factory Selmer case! The case is not in the best condition, but these cases are worth a pretty penny by them selves. The Selmer logo is fully intact on the outside!
Included is Selmer branded end plug!
Overall this is a great Mark VI, with a prime serial number thats ready to play out of the box for a fair price!
This saxophone is on sale at our Los Angeles, California saxophone showroom store and can sell at any point so if you have been looking for an investment grade Selmer alto please buy and pay confidently we will ship ASAP upon payment!
