Selmer Mark VI Baritone 154k Original Lacquer Excellent Condition No Neck
This is the nicest condition low Bb Selmer Mark VI baritone I have EVER seen. It’s shockingly clean, and even nicer in person than in the photos. Sadly, the neck was lost by the original owner. No luck looking for it, and we looked high and low. For future reference, if you’re going to store a horn untouched for decades, be sure to put the original neck with the horn. Oh well. On the Mark VI baritone, the neck is absurdly simple, with no octave key, and barely any taper. It’s just a bent tube. It’s the easiest Selmer neck to replace with a better one, by far. I have an original Mark VI 81xxx baritone neck here in my necks drawer that we could discuss pairing with this horn. Or you could just get a new Series III baritone neck, which is the same as a VI neck and pops right on there. Or get Gloger to make you a custom one. His custom 12M Conn necks play better than Conn’s necks. Ok that’s a lot of discussion of the neck.
This horn is just a gorgeous player. It still has the original factory pads, and they have barely been used, so it actually still plays well on the original factory setup. The keys feel nice and snappy and everything is mechanically clean and tight like it should be. It’s warm and lush sounding, almost like a tenor, and it also feels like a tenor on your neck, compared to the much heavier low A version. If you want a time capsule Selmer Mark VI baritone saxophone, which is something you almost NEVER see, well, you should grab this one for sure. There’s only one available to one lucky owner.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone 166k Original Lacquer Low A Fresh Full Overhaul Great Player
This one-owner Selmer Mark VI baritone saxophone has its original lacquer and goes to low A. It’s American-engraved and assembled (the more desirable version), and the original neck is also in great shape. This Selmer Mark VI baritone was pro-owned, and it played in lots of blues and funk bands all around North Carolina in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s before being put away for a few decades. I got it from the original owner, and got it completely restored with a full mechanical and cosmetic overhaul. We ultrasonically cleaned it, changed everything that can be changed, and did a full overhaul of everything, so that it feels and plays like a new instrument now. You would be hard-pressed to find a more fun Selmer Mark VI low A bari sax to play. It just responds easily, tunes easily, feels great under the fingers, and has that funky, played in look that looks legit on stage. Whether you want this for an occasional bari option, for recording, for a band, or as your new main horn, you won’t go wrong with this Mark VI bari.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Low A 175659 Fresh Full Overhaul! WJ Case!
Gorgeous original lacquer Selmer Mark VI baritone saxophone with a great Walt Johnson case! This was a one-owner horn its whole life, and was babied by a pro multi-woodwind player in NYC. This was his favorite horn out of his entire collection, and I am currently getting it completely overhauled and back to new mechanical and playing condition with all new pads, corks, felts, complete cleaning, and extensive hand polishing and mechanical improvement everywhere, plus a thorough setup. Just the case sells for $1000+. If you don’t want the Walt Johnson case, I’d be happy to keep it and sell it separately. It’s very rare to find such a great Mark VI baritone that looks this good, has a top shelf overhaul freshly done, and that will play effortlessly for you while it goes up in value!

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Low A Original Lacquer Older Pads 147167
This is a chance to get an original lacquer Selmer Mark VI low A baritone saxophone from 1967/8 with older pads for a bargain price. This is a lot less than a new Yamaha, for a Mark VI! This Mark VI low A baritone has a lot of projection and power, and very good intonation. The tone is medium between bright and dark – not super dark, not super bright and thin. Depending on mouthpiece, you can take it in lots of directions. This was owned by the same player for the past several decades. He played it a lot because it plays well. It’s time for a fresh overhaul on it, in my opinion, so if you like the worn look on a Selmer, and you want it original lacquer, and you want to be able to afford to overhaul it your way, but not be into it for too much money, then that’s what this is. It’s hard to find any low A Mark VI for this price, let alone a 140k and original lacquer. It was well cared-for, and is a Euro assembled VI that has no engraving from the factory. Original Selmer case as well.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Original Lacquer 1962 100463 Recent Overhaul Low Bb Great!
Original lacquer Low Bb Selmer Mark VI baritone saxophone with a fresh overhaul done last year, and lightly played since. This is a desirable serial 100463 dating to 1962, and it’s the exact same horn as a late 5-digit serial Mark VI baritone in every way. The tone is medium dark, and powerful, with a good amount of focus. Response is easy. This horn is free blowing and just easy to play. The low Bb means that it’s lighter and feels almost like a tenor to hold. You can see a bit of dent work done on the back of the bottom bow, and some lacquer loss from removing the bow to do the dent work. Besides that, it’s in quite good shape. The bell flare, body tube, and upper bow are all undamaged! That’s remarkable! The original neck with matching serial is also in excellent, undamaged condition. If you want a beautiful early Selmer Mark VI bari that is in great shape, plays well, and is recently overhauled, you’d have a hard time doing better than this one for the price.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Original Lacquer Low A 82xxx 1959!
Hey, Mom, is that a…tramp stamp?!? If a saxophone could have an unfortunate tattoo, but still retain its beauty, this would be it. This is an original lacquer, American-engraved Mark VI that was also re-engraved (over the original engraving) because a previous owner thought it should look sharper. It’s a great deal on a VI low A baritone that also plays very well on a recent overhaul.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Saxophone 108xxx
This saxophone is sold! But click here to see our current selection of baritone and bass saxophones.This horn is in good mechanical condition and has original lacquer. It is a low Bb bari that makes it lighter and more free blowing (less stuffy) that the Low A VI baris are. The 108xxx serial is in the very best range for the VI horns as far as build quality and tone goes (My favorites for tone have been 70k-110k so far). I am listing it as-is for the present. But if you want to buy it now and get it for less money and do some or all of this work elsewhere, I am open to offers. This is a great price for this horn.

Selmer Mark VI Baritone Saxophone Original Lacquer 1964 112502 Getting Overhauled!
Getting a complete overhaul now. This beautiful original lacquer Selmer Mark VI baritone is from 1964. It has had some dents removed from the body tube and bow, but they are nearly invisible, and it is completely straight and in excellent condition now. I’ll add new photos once it has the overhaul done and the pads in. The neck is from a different VI bari, but the VI bari neck was always the same, and all the necks are basically interchangeable, so it will play its very best when it’s all overhauled with all new everything and totally ready to go. You can’t beat the overhaul this horn comes with, and it’s already included in the price. If you want a VI bari that plays effortlessly throughout the whole range, with a low Bb that pops right out and great even feel, really nice, dry, snappy pad work that will last a long time, and basically everything just as it should be, then you should reserve this one! The overhaul will be done soon. It’s priced like a used Yamaha, and it’s an original VI from 1964. What’s not to love?

Selmer Mark VI LOW A Baritone 63959 Original Lacquer and Pads
You’d be hard pressed to find a nicer, cleaner, more all-original 5-digit Selmer Mark VI baritone saxophone than this one! It’s gorgeous original lacquer, and it even still has its original factory pads! That’s insane. Plus it has the rare and desirable low A key that makes it an all-purpose modern instrument. If you want this horn plus a top shelf overhaul, send me a message. I’d love to get this overhauled for someone, but it’s also hard to find one with original pads from 1956, so I haven’t wanted to do it till I see if someone would rather have an untouched one. You can play it on the orig pads, and it plays beautifully with a rich, medium dark tone, kind of ‘woody’ with a nice focused core. But it’s leaky, and really needs an overhaul to play its best! Do that, and you will have a world class bari with the best looking lacquer of any Selmer in my opinion. I’m a sucker for that dark nitrocellulose lacquer look.

Selmer Mark VI Soprano from 1971 Excellent Original Lacquer 189112
This is an extremely nice condition, original pads Selmer Mark VI soprano. It appears to have been played very little, and actually plays extremely well on its original pads, which to me is an indication that this horn has led a very sheltered life and harbors no surprises for its future owner. This horn is original lacquer, Euro-assembled with no engraving. The original case, protected by a case cover, is in excellent condition. The horn plays with the warm, centered and focused tone that VI sopranos are known for- with the certain alluring beauty that makes them hard to put down. If you’ve been looking for an original, unmolested Mark VI soprano to make your own, it would be hard to find one in better shape than this one, and the later serial makes it one of the less expensive ways to acquire one.
It includes the case in the photos, and if you want to add a nice BAM Signature soprano case, I can get you a great discount on one. Keeps the horn very safe in shipping and gigging.

Selmer Mark VI Soprano Original Lacquer Excellent Condition! 210073
Gorgeous original lacquer Selmer Mark VI soprano. The later serials like this tune the best of all the VI sopranos, and sound great. Both Coltrane and Kenny G play(ed) a VI soprano, so that should give you some idea of the range of tone possible on one of these. This one is about as clean and nice an example as you could find. The pads are original, and still sealing fairly well, but plan on a repad soon. Priced to be a great deal for someone.

Selmer Mark VI Soprano Original Lacquer Very Good Condition 197315
Wonderful example of a Selmer Mark VI soprano. This beauty has almost all of its original lacquer still remaining, as well as its original pads. Nobody has messed with this horn. It is still factory clean repair wise, with the nice, snappy factory setup still intact. If you’re going to be playing this seriously, you will want to get the pads replaced soon I would think. They are currently sealing surprisingly well, for it being 50 years old, and you can play it plenty well enough to tell that it has a rich, centered tone, medium between bright and dark, with a good amount of projection. With the right mouthpiece, the Mark VI is the ultimate smooth jazz soprano a la Kenny G. Kenny G gets both love and hate from the saxophone world, but there’s no question people far beyond the saxophone community love his sound, and he plays a Mark VI soprano just like this. There are no dents or dings, and there are no past repairs on this saxophone. It’s an amazing example, and well worth the price. The hard case is in good condition. Not original, and more protective than the original anyhow. You can upgrade to a BAM Signature (best modern soprano case) for not much extra. No mouthpiece comes with it, but we can discuss mouthpiece options if you don’t already have one that you love.

Selmer Mark VI Soprano Saxophone 141xxx
This saxophone is sold! But click here to see our current selection of soprano and sopranino saxophones!This is a good, original lacquer example of an early Selmer Mark VI soprano from 1967. 1967 was a good year for Selmer saxophones, and this one is further confirmation of that fact. There were very few sopranos made that year, and this one would have to be one of the best examples in the world. It plays well on existing pads. There was a small dent removed on the back of the body where you see lacquer missing, and the bell flare has a very bit of lacquer wear from the horn bumping the edge of the case, or possibly from a mic. The tone is classic VI soprano – a reedy, delicate French core tone that is medium between bright and dark and that can go in all sorts of directions depending on mouthpiece. If you have been looking for a great VI soprano for a while, this would be hard to beat. It ships in the original case in good condition.

It’s hard to beat this horn for Mark VI soprano tone. I really like how this horn sounds, with a warm, rich tone. The engraving is beautiful as well, with a flower featured on the bell below the serial stamp, surrounded by some sweeping leafy patterns. This is one of only a small number of early VI-era sopranos sold in the London area, and it plays and feels like an American-market VI for whatever reason. This horn is original lacquer, and it has a cool look to it from the way the lacquer has aged a dark almost greenish gold color.

This saxophone is sold! But click here to see our current selection of soprano and sopranino saxophones!This is a rare, American-engraved Selmer Mark VI Soprano saxophone SN# 84xxx. It was a one-owner horn, and it was never relacquered, but the original lacquer was stripped, and the horn was gold-plated in the 1970’s and then played very little after that. I was thinking of keeping this horn for my collection, but after going around and around about it, at the end of the day I find myself playing modern sopranos. It’s in good playing condition, and it comes with the original case as well. There are not many of these super-desirable 5-digit, American-engraved sopranos out there, and they are very collectible and also have a uniquely dark, complex tone that is like no other.

This horn was made in 1961, and Coltrane’s soprano was from 1962. If you like the tone that Coltrane gets on “My Favorite Things” or on the soprano tracks of the Ellington and Coltrane album, then you will probably like this horn a lot. It has that reedy, exotic sound going on, and you can certainly play it smooth and warm like “My Favorite Things” with the right mouthpiece.

If you want a nice, early American-engraved Mark VI, and you want the most bang for your buck, this is the horn for you. This is one sweet original Mark VI tenor from 1963.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 143865 Exceptional Player Original Lacquer Very Good Condition
This Mark VI tenor from 1967 is a real screamer! It is moderately focused, medium bright in tone, and LOUD. It has effortless response, and the low register pops out easily. It just got a fresh overhaul done and plays great throughout! The pads feel nice and ‘dry’ and snappy under the fingers, and you can put as much air through the horn as you want without it breaking up, or sounding shrill. It’s a fantastic VI if you want one that has some of the warmth and complexity of the earlier VI’s (not as brash and in your face as the later ones), but has tons of power.
Cosmetically, this horn is in very good condition with minimal past repairs and no dents or dings. It’s original lacquer and looks beautiful. When you see it, you think – ‘Man, that Mark VI looks almost new!’ Looking closer, there are a few signs that it was played and loved over the years: The Bb keyguard popped off at some point and got resoldered (happens a lot on vintage horns), and the neck shows a little lacquer wear on the side from flexing, but is the correct angle now, and was never pulled down in anything like a bad way. It’s about a 2 on a scale of 1-10 — just enough to make the lacquer fracture and fall off over time. The only other thing to note is some minor dings removed from the back of the body that are gone now. Normal stuff for a vintage horn, and nothing bad; nothing needs repaired etc. And you save around $2k versus the price if this horn had no repairs, which is significant savings! Not to mention it’s already overhauled and done very tidily and well.
If you want a nice, powerful, beautiful Mark VI tenor for quite a bit less than a new Ref 54 that plays better, is built better, and is an exceptionally good player, that’s what this is.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 159k Original Lacquer High F# Very Good Condition
Beautiful original lacquer Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone from 1968. It is in very good condition with no dents or dings. The neck is in great shape, as is the bell flare and bow. The only repair I see is a nearly invisble one to the octave lever arm at the top of the body tube. (Got a bit damaged from the way it lays in the case, but the fix is superb.) It’s uncommon to find such a beautiful example of a Selmer Mark VI tenor, and this one also comes with the rare high F# key option also included. This Mark VI is priced on the low side for quick sale. It still plays surprisingly well on the mostly original factory pads! If you’re going to play it a lot, you should plan on getting it repadded before too long, though I have known folks to stretch the original pad life a surprisingly long way!
The tone is medium between bright and dark. Not too dark, not too bright. It has a focused, lyrical core and is nice and free blowing. The later VI’s like in the 200k serial range tend to be more bright and bold playing, where the 150-160k’s are more balanced and ‘just right’ tonally. If you’re looking for a gorgeous Mark VI that sounds great, looks great, and has all the bells and whistles, and that has no hidden problems or concerns, this would be a prime example to consider. For what you get, it’s priced quite low in comparison to other similar horns that I see around. And these are only going up in value.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1955 Original Lacquer Plays Well 59259
This VI tenor is dark, rich, powerful, and focused. It’s one of the VI tenors that accounts for the reputation of the Selmer Mark VI Tenor being what it is today. This horn has had its share of dents removed from the back of the body tube along the area of the thumb hook. The work was done nicely though, and there’s not sign of dents now. This horn was owned by the same person for a very long time – pro player, who took great care of it and played it his whole life. It’s not the sort of horn that you sell. The pads are a mix of older and newer and have just been tuned up. It plays well, but you’re going to be doing some tune ups on it down the road as some of the pads are pretty old. Still, you can play it now like this and it sounds great and responds well. 1955 is an excellent year for a VI both as a player and as an investment. Only one available!

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1956 Relacquer Great Deal Incl Overhaul! 65412
If you want a 5-digit VI tenor that plays great and is overhauled to the top level, this is it. This is a great deal for this 5 digit Mark VI tenor from 1956. It’s American-engraved with original neck with matching serial number. There are no dents or dings, and the older pads were still sealing when I got it, but it was going to be time to overhaul it soon, so it just got a full mechanical overhaul with all new everything (leaving the lacquer of course) and with slightly domed reusable metal resonators like Selmer used back in the day.
Condition wise, it’s worth mentioning that it was definitely buffed when it was relacquered – the bell engraving is still visible for sure, but it was originally very deeply cut at this serial range, and the palm key tone holes are shorter than they were originally because of buffing. It still tunes fine up top, since we can easily set the key heights on the palm keys individually, but it’s worth mentioning.
With the overhaul, this an an absolutely effortless player, with a dark, powerful, focused, projecting tone that is loud and fat sounding. These 60k VI’s are always really popular with people who have played a lot of Selmer tenors, because they really have a special, dark, powerful tone that is what made the Mark VI so popular in the 50’s.
If you’re looking for a VI tenor from basically the best serial range, with a great tone, great ergonomics, good intonation, and that costs a lot less than most VI’s, and is mechanically top shape, then that’s what this is.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1957 Original Lacquer Recent Overhaul Exceptional Player 70812
Do you want the best playing Selmer on the site right now? This is it! It’s just fantastic. It has that extra special something that makes you want to never put it down. It has a good overhaul with minimal play time on the pads, and it just got a fresh thorough setup to put it into absolutely top playing condition. There are no dents, no dings, no past repairs. Original neck is undamaged and has the matching serial number. The tone is medium dark, fat, focused, powerful when pushed, and just super classic Selmer Mark VI tenor. Horns like this are why the Mark VI became so popular. It will out play any Supreme or other vintage Selmer you might be comparison shopping. I try to withhold superlatives when describing saxophones, so that when I want to use them, people actually pay attention. This one is exceptional! It may well be that any of the other VI tenors on the site would be as good with a great fresh overhaul. But this one definitely is world class.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1959 Old Pads Relacquer Best Vintage! 83881
This is a great looking factory relacquered Selmer Mark VI Tenor from what I think is the best overall serial number for a tenor. My own personal VI is right at 82k, and many of the best VI tenors I’ve played have been in the 77k-84k range. These tenors have a dark, rich, powerful, ‘woody’ sort of complexity to the tone that stands out even from the crowd of other great 5-digit Selmer Mark VI tenors. This particular one, at 83881, is right in that best range. If it were original lacquer, it would sell for a 2X+ higher price! And this relacquer is good enough that you can still easily see the lightly-done original engraving (1958-60 VI tenors tend to be engraved originally with the shallowest cuts of any VI’s). The lacquer is even the right color and style for this serial range, but it’s definitely not original. The tenor was well cared-for, and just needs a good overhaul to be a top player. It still plays on the old pads (sound clip below), though it is leaky and needs to be overhauled. If it were not on consignment, I’d get it done pre-sale, but since it’s consignment, I am selling it as-is. It’s a great deal. You could spend this much on a modern Selmer that would both not play as well, and also that would go down in value instead of up. If you buy a horn like this that is the most desirable version, then you will always have the best chance of making some money on it even, if you ever have to sell it.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1960 Worn Original Lacquer Fresh Overhaul 86853
On hold Mar 5 2024.
This 86k serial Selmer Mark VI tenor has been played a TON. It is probably actually original lacquer under all that wear from handling, though at this point it is priced more like a relacquer than like an original lacquer VI. It just got a fresh high end overhaul done, and it plays HUGE with a really powerful, focused tone. It feels very different from the 84k tenor in the shop. There really is something different about the 86-87k VI tenors that gives them a ton of projection and makes them a lot of fun to play. The horn has wear throughout – pearl holders on both stacks, protective patch by thumb hook, side keys worn down. But it plays like a beast. Besides being played a lot, it was very well cared for, with no serious damage, no dents or dings, and the original neck with matching serial number still looking very good. If you want a ‘Brecker’ serial VI that has a good overhaul, plays great, and is priced on the lower side, this is for you!

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1962 Nice Relacquer Fresh Overhaul 102146
This 1962 Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone is relacquered, but it’s in otherwise excellent physical/mechanical and cosmetic condition. It came in with old pads, but it still had a big, dark, focused, powerful tone like you think of with the 90-100k Mark VI’s. The early 100k serial ones are identical to a late 90k, but they sell for a lower price than the ‘5-digit’ serial VI’s, so that makes this an excellent value in a VI. If you want a similar horn for less money, but with older pads, there’s currently a 104k for sale here that isn’t overhauled. This one is for the person who wants the picky, GetASax overhaul on the horn, so that it just plays great right out of the case and is ready to go for the foreseeable future, with only periodic checkups needed on the pads. The main things to think about on a relacquer are two: First of all, check for past damage. I don’t see anything significant on this one as far as past repairs. It just got a new coat of lacquer at some point. And second, to overhaul it so that any key wear from use or buffing is removed, and the keywork goes back to being all tight and snappy. That’s what’s happening with the overhaul. So it’s a good buy for someone who wants the tone of the late 5-digit tenors, but double discounted because of the early 6 digit serial and the new coat of lacquer. This is getting overhauled with nice Pisoni Italian leather pads and premium reusable slightly domed brass resonators. In my opinion, there’s no better way to do it!

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1963 Fresh Overhaul Excellent Player! 105156
This Mark VI tenor absolutely rocks! It’s one of the most fun tenors to play in the shop right now, regardless of price. It has been relacquered, obviously, as the engraving isn’t very sharp anymore. It never was very deep on the 1962-3 horns – they’re all engraved with a light touch from the factory – but even so, obvious relacquer. However, I just had this horn completely restored, and now it plays and feels like a new saxophone under the fingers, and it is just excellent to play. The tone is fat, dark, focused, and powerful, with lots of complexity. Tyler had more fun recording this one than any other tenor he’s done so far I think! And when I played it, I was just blown away by how responsive and effortless it is to play. The low register just pops out without any fuss, even at pp. Altissimo is easy. Intonation is good. And the pad work is excellent – it feels dry and snappy under your fingers. We used Pisoni Italian leather pads and fancy reusable slightly domed brass resonators, which is my favorite combination for a VI tenor. It comes in the original case in good condition. All in all, you’re saving several thousand dollars for the new coat of lacquer, but you’re getting a world class tenor for a comparatively low price. Whoever gets this should really love it.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1963 Worn Original Lacquer
Low price for this worn original lacquer 1963 Mark VI Tenor. This horn is on consignment for a great local player who played it constantly for the past 35+ years. It was his main horn all that time, and hence, has been played a ton. It’s still sealing on the older pads, and it plays great, but it’s not freshly overhauled and does not have tight, new feeling keywork by any means. The neck is also not original, and lacks the matching serial number though it is a Mark VI neck, and it plays great with the horn. This sax will be a dependably great player if you get it overhauled and play it for the next 35 years. It has a medium dark, focused, moderately powerful tone, and nice free blowing feel. It’s rare to find an original early 60’s VI that plays great for this sort of price. If you don’t mind the older pads and the neck, then you’re in business. I like the look of it. It’s well used, because it’s fun to play.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1964 Original Lacquer 118907 Frank Zappa Band
Pending Sale. This is a sax with two descriptions! The first is the personal history of the horn, as written by its owner, Robert Martin. Robert is a great guy whose illustrious career as a sax player and multi-instrumentalist is also described a bit.
Robert’s description of the horn can be found here.
The second description is mine as a saxophone dealer who pays attention to the details of condition, and compares saxophones to each other. From that perspective, what we have here is a very nice, one-owner example of a Selmer Mark VI tenor from 1964 with original lacquer, that has been played a lot and well cared-for over the years. It was assembled and engraved in the USA, so it sports what Selmer people call “American engraving”, and it has the dark honey colored nitrocellulose lacquer that is typical of this vintage of Mark VI. The tone is really beautiful on this tenor. I love the early 60’s VI’s, and this is one of the best ones I’ve played. It’s medium dark, medium focused, with lots of power. It’s a lot like a late 5 digit in that way, but has a little bit brighter tone. It’s nothing like a 140k or later VI, where they get quite bright and lose the darker, more focused core of a horn like this. It’s a superb player.
Cosmetically, it’s obviously been played a fair amount, so it has some honest wear to the lacquer throughout. The neck has seen some minor flexing over the years, but only about a 1-2 on a scale of 1-10 of severity. It is still the correct angle also. The neck has the matching serial number to the body.
A dent was removed from the upper body tube near high F, and the top post there also got pushed back into alignment. The back of the bow and bottom bow have seen dents removed, and the bottom bow guard is still a little flat. The low Eb, C and chromatic F# keyguards have been resoldered, though done quite well with little evidence left of the repairs. The bell flare also had a minor crease removed at some point. All in all, these are the typical sorts of repairs that you see on a good horn that has been played a lot. Everything is nice and tidy and fixed up now, so I wouldn’t be particularly concerned about the repairs.
The overhaul on this horn feels great. It was done extremely well somewhere on the west coast, with medium firm leather pads sealed with red paint. Those sorts of pads last forever and keep their feel. I’ve played 25+ year old overhauls on similar pads that are still going strong. Resonators are slightly domed and correct for the vintage of horn. The pad work feels great – dry, snappy, and correctly balanced. You won’t be disappointed!
If you’re looking for an original lacquer VI tenor with a beautiful tone, a great overhaul, and an interesting history, this would be the one to get.

This is a beautiful Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone in remarkable condition. It has nearly all of its original lacquer intact, with only minor wear from use, and no dents, no dings and no past repairs! The neck is original, and this was a one owner horn, and is on consignment for the original owner. If you are worried about buying a used horn, this is the kind to buy – clean, original, problem-free, and ready for new pads. Even the pads on this one are mostly factory original. Saxophones don’t wear out, so this is about as close to buying a new Mark VI as you can get. And the price is right too! You can now buy an excellent, original lacquer, american-engraved Mark VI and get it overhauled for less than the price of a new Selmer tenor, which is kind of wild. It also comes with the original case in good condition.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1972 Recent Full Overhaul Replacement Neck 201149
This Selmer Mark VI Tenor was overhauled by Matt Stohrer a few years ago for a player who then was unable to play it for medical reasons, and is still basically a completely fresh overhaul. The horn feels great under the fingers! It plays almost like a new horn. The only odd thing about it is the neck. The tube doesn’t look like Selmer to me, though the octave key is. So it’s priced quite low as a result. You could always get a VI neck for it to match up if you prefer, though it plays great on the existing neck, whatever it is.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1973 Original Lacquer Fresh Overhaul High F# 218292
This is a beautiful, original lacquer Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone from 1973. It is euro lacquered and engraved, and it has the optional high F# key. This Mark VI Tenor also got a fresh overhaul shortly before it was consigned with GetASax. The overhaul was done with black kangaroo leather pads and waffle shaped ‘noyek’ or ‘hollywood’ resonators. The overhaul is good, with all pads checked and seated and sealing well. The neck fit is good, and response is easy. The tone is medium bright and fairly complex, with effortless low register and easy altissimo. You won’t need to do anything to this horn when you get it. Just pop on a mouthpiece and play. And if you’re used to having a high F#, this is an easy transition from a modern Yamaha or something, since it also has it. The keywork on a Selmer Mark VI feels modern, and is, of course, the keywork layout that all modern horns are based on. So it’s easy to play, tunes well, responds well, and is original lacquer and freshly overhauled. What’s not to like? The price is also quite attractive, so you can get an original, overhauled Mark VI for around the same price as a (less exciting) new Yamaha 82z, and for way less than a new Selmer Ref 36 or something. Plus, the Mark VI will hold its value well or appreciate while you own it, where a new horn would lose a lot of value as soon as it becomes used.
The case with this Selmer is not so great, so we can discuss swapping you into a BAM case of some kind, for better protection in shipping. I’m happy to hook you up with one of your choice at an excellent price, or I can ship this safely with this case using my special double-boxing setup. Either way you’ll be good. We should have a video with hifi sound clip of this tenor within a few days, so check back if you want to see Tyler play it before you pull the trigger.
Only one available! Audio is best on HD resolution in the video.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor 1974 Original Lacquer Very Good Condition Recent Overhaul 220324
Pending 2/14 This is a beautiful original lacquer Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone that also has a fresh Ken Beason overhaul with large metal resonators (‘Beasonators’) and leather pads. The action is nice and snappy under the fingers, and the horn feels as nice to play as a brand new saxophone. It has beautiful lacquer and American engraving, and there are no dents or dings. As far as past repairs, it looks like the neck was flexed enough over the years to lose a little lacquer on the sides, but it’s not pulled down, and it looks like it was a very minor thing – like what happens when you move your mouthpiece while on the neck. The neck receiver has some lacquer loss around that area, and the back of the body tube has some lacquer loss in one spot. I think the neck receiver was resoldered when Ken overhauled the horn, by the look of it. This needs to be done on a horn when the solder has a leak or if the socket is loose for any reason. The tone on this one is big, powerful and projecting. Late VI tenors like this are beasts, and the resonators also help it to put out a ton of sound. Intonation is easy; low register comes out effortlessly, and altissimo is also easy!

On Trial May 17 2022
It would be hard to find a better deal on a Mark VI tenor at the moment. This horn just got tuned up by Aaron Barnard in Cedar Rapids (great repairman), and it plays effortlessly with a big, powerful tone. The tone is medium dark, and focused with lots of power. It brightens up when pushed, but this is the sort of tone that people love in a good 80k Mark VI. It sounds a lot like my 81k. The only reason this isn’t priced about $3k higher is that it had a neck pickup removed, and has had a few minor past repairs. That doesn’t matter when Aaron does the pickup-ectomy, because he puts a ‘flush plug’ in that matches the curve of the brass inside and outside. It’s like the pickup was never there. Besides that, this was a one owner horn, and it was played a lot but well cared for. The only other past repairs I see are a few dings removed from the back of the body tube and bow (bow ones are basically invisible, and the back of the body ones look like a tiny cloudy spot, for example above the serial number). And the bell flare had a crease removed and is in the correct contour now and feels just fine. Neck is in great shape aside from the lacquer loss from when the pickup was installed in the first place. As repairs go, none of these is very serious, and the horn plays just how it should.
For an original lacquer 1958-59 VI, you’d typically have to pay a lot more than this. I’m pricing this one on the low side for what it is, so that someone can get a relative bargain on it. The market is a bit confusing to folks right now, with people on eBay and some private websites listing horns for 3-5x their actual value. I’m not going to do that. But I’ll tell you this horn would be priced much higher elsewhere, and it is an excellent value if you’re looking for tone, and not cosmetic perfection, but you want a horn in good shape, from a great vintage and serial number, and with original lacquer. That’s what this is. There’s only one available, so get it before it’s gone.

This is a crazy good deal on a beautiful, original lacquer Selmer Mark VI tenor from 1961. It has mostly original pads still intact, and is in very good original condition. It is not often that you see a late 5-digit tenor in this sort of shape. There’s very little lacquer wear to the original lacquer. It has only been played a little bit since new. it has had some small dings removed in the bow area, and that’s about it.
These horns play with a beautiful tone that is the reason that people all over the world want an early Mark VI tenor. The tone is more complex, nuanced and beautiful than a modern horn, with a medium-focused “French”-sounding lyrical core. It’s medium between bright and dark – sort of a dark core but it gets brighter and punchier when pushed. This is the sort of horn that you think of with someone like Michael Brecker, who played a number of VI’s from this serial range and a little earlier. It really does it all, and the price is crazily low for what you get. It’s priced low to move quickly for a consignment seller. Someone should grab this right now.

This makes it a good chance to save thousands off the usual price of an early 5-digit Mark VI.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor from 1955 Original Lacquer Great Overhaul!
This horn sounds great! It’s one of my favorite VI tenors in a long time, with an instantly fat, Sonny Rollins sort of tone– what to me is basically the sound of 50’s mainstream jazz tenor. Original lacquer, fresh Matt Stohrer overhaul. Matt’s work is just the best, and the horn is mechanically super nice. It has a set of $120 reusable domed brass resonators that give it just the right amount of punch and are similar to the original Selmer ones. No significant cosmetic or structural problems either. No past damage; no resolders except for the little guard by the chromatic F#. No dents or dings. It’s a horn I can recommend without any reservations. And for a Mark VI from 1955, with and expensive overhaul, the price is really good.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor from 1973 Saxophone Original Lacquer Overhauled Great!
Just overhauled. This horn plays REALLY well. Super nice under the fingers, great response. Plays, feels, and responds better than most 5 digit tenors out there. If you want the loud, powerful late VI tenor sound, this is hard to beat.
This is a mechanically very clean original lacquer Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone with American engraving. This horn has some speckling in the lacquer, as you can see, but if you look at what counts, this Mark VI tenor is in excellent condition. There’s no damage, no resolders, neck is in great condition. It JUST got a complete overhaul / restoration done, and it’s back to factory fresh mechanical and pad condition. (An overhaul takes around 25 hours of skilled work, and represents a big added value to any saxophone.) That means all new pads, corks, felts, setup, mechanical work, neck fit – whatever it needs in order to play like a new horn.
The later VI tenors are excellent players. Better tone and feel for the dollar than almost any other saxophone that you can buy period. And this one is mechanically very nice, which is what you want. If you have been wanting a solid pro tenor that is easy to play and sounds excellent, but is in the mid-range of price for a pro tenor, that’s this. Plus, rather than depreciate like a new horn, this Mark VI tenor will go up in value, and will be easy to re-sell at any point later. Buy it and get playing!

Selmer Mark VI Tenor Near Mint All Original Amazing 223649
Beautiful time capsule type Mark VI tenor original lacquer, original pads, original case etc. It’s about as nice as you ever see a vintage saxophone of any kind! Believe it or not, this is almost exactly the same price you would have paid to buy this horn new in the early 70’s in today’s dollars adjusted for inflation (within $500 or so). Everybody always talks wistfully about how they wish they could go back to the 70’s and buy a VI for $975 or whatever the new price was then. Well, that’s about $7k in today’s money. So here you go. It’s your chance.

Selmer Mark VI Tenor Old Varitone Fully Engraved + AfterMarket Silver Plate Job Big Player 141570
This is a really powerful Mark VI tenor that was one-owner, and well played and loved its entire life so far. The original owner had the varitone pickup system removed from the bell, and he then had the horn fully engraved, neck to bell flare by Sherry Huntley, and then silver plated. It has the Selmer factory pickup port still present in the neck, which you could use for recording or to run through effects pedals if you want to, and it would work great. Or just ignore it and it plays like a regular Mark VI. The current pads are medium way through their usable life. This horn was frequently maintained by a local shop here, including just a few weeks ago, and they are still sealing well. If you want a powerful, medium bright Mark VI tenor that also turns heads with its silver plate finish and full engraving, and you want that all for a low price, since the silver is aftermarket, that’s what you’re getting. It’s a great value in a Mark VI, because this horn has always been well cared-for, and it had a ton of money put into it in the engraving (+$750 or more) plus the plating (+$2k at least).
Only one available!
