Selmer Mark VI Alto 1975 Worn Original Lacquer Great Deal! 237791

This is a great deal on an original lacquer Selmer Mark VI Alto saxophone from 1975. You basically never see an original lacquer Selmer Mark VI for under $4k, but I priced this one low to sell quickly. It has old pads and needs an overhaul (all new pads) for you to be able to play it enjoyably. You can ‘make saxophone noises’ on it currently, but you don’t get the full experience. It has quite a bit of scratching and wear to the finish, but it’s basically fine mechanically. The past repairs I see include: dings removed from back of bow; resoldered Eb key guard; dent removed from front of the bow on the end of the bow guard. The neck screw needs to be swapped out for a Selmer one. I’m out of them at the moment but will swap it myself if I get more in. They’re readily available as a replacement part. You’re going to want to overhaul this thoroughly to remove mechanical play from the keywork and clean up the finish where it has green gunk on it. That’s pretty much standard practice on any good overhaul, so your repairer will be in familiar territory. You might even consider stripping the original lacquer, and this would get a fresh lease on life aesthetically. I might do that if I were overhauling it. They look great that way, and the engraving will pop even more.
