For sale is an fantastic Selmer Mark VI Bb baritone saxophone!
This horn is a prime golden era 5 digit Selmer serial #62,xxx with its matching stamped serial #62,xxx neck!
This saxophone is an unlacquered, delacquered saxophone with a very strong patina all throughout the horn.
We do not know the true history of this saxophone. Its very possible this saxophone is a relaq relacquered saxophone.
The fidelity of the engraving looks pretty detailed and nice, but we are aiding on the side of caution and just assuming it was a relaq prior to the past player having it delaq'd.
Right now this saxophone is being sold as not working for parts category only.
This saxophone will require a full setup to be a playing saxophone.
At one point not all that long ago someone went to great trouble to work on the saxophone. You can see the pads throughout the horn are bright popping tan pads, and the neck cork is new as well.
The saxophones just not sealing properly and needs a setup, nothing crazy.
This saxophone is being sold not working and has its fair share of various scratches, knicks, dings, dents, fleabites, metal wear, engraving wear, lacquer wear, repair marks, weld marks, patina and other anomalies associated with such an old vintage instrument.
The bell is sorta out of round misshapen beat up dinged a bit.
There are some light dings on the body tube.
Overall this saxophone has plenty of good solid use marks throughout, but the horn is a great piece!
This saxophone has gorgeous sprawling engraving. Most Selmer baritone Mark VIs don't have any engraving at all so its always a nice thing to have!
Included is an excellent Gard bag sax case. This isnt pictured, but its a very clean recent case.
Right now this saxophone is sitting in line queued up waiting for a full setup in the repair shop. In some unknown amount of time after the listing goes live, 2 weeks to 6 weeks this saxophone will become a perfect playing saxophone. At that point in time we will convert this listing into a fully functional listing and the price will become firm and possibly raised. So if you are personally a repair tech, or want the best deal possible on this saxophone, the time is now prior to any work being done!
This horn 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 baritone please buy and pay confidently we will ship ASAP upon payment!
