For sale is a fantastic Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone!
This horn is a prime golden era Selmer serial #131,xxx with its matching serial number #131xxx factory neck!
Although the engraving is quite beautiful this horn is a relaq relacquer'd horn after the factory!
Please check out picture #22 & #23, at one point this horn had a pick up microphone removed from the neck. The area is super flat, very nice work on it, but want to make sure its being pointed out.
This horn is an amazing playing saxophone!
This horn is a great sax that has JUST come out of the repair shop!
This horn was completely broken down separated into pieces, cleaned, degreased, freshly oiled, fresh adjustment material as needed, a few new pads that had to be 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 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. If you do change any more pads it will be minimally evasive repair. Being we just did so so much work to the horn, we pretty much did the "overhaul" part, its just a matter of a tech sticking in 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
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.
This horn is being sold as used and has its fair share of strong 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 horns neck is not bad, but has some typical pull down going on.
Please check out picture #24. On the back of the bell there is strong red ish patina.
The horn includes a factory Selmer case! The case is not in the best condition, but these cases are worth a pretty penny by them selves.
Overall this is a great Mark VI, with a prime serial number, thats ready to play out of the box for a fair price!
These days modern Selmers can be $10k $11k+ so this price range for a working condition Selmer tenor is really a sweet spot, priced in the pocket!
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 a Selmer tenor please buy and pay confidently we will ship ASAP upon payment!
