Description
This very clean refinished Selmer Mark VI 5-digit serial number alto saxophone is just received a high-end, full mechanical overhaul, and turned out to be an amazing player! It already played well on the old pads, with a dark, powerful, projecting, focused tone that feels almost like a tenor saxophone. Now, it’s one of those horns you just don’t want to put down. Medium dark, free blowing, effortless low register, as softly as you want to play, easy altissimo. The key feel is nice and snappy, and feels like a brand new horn. This horn had never been damaged at all, and is super clean, apart from the new coat of paint it got at some point. You can read around on here to see what a big job a full overhaul is on a vintage horn. The short of it is, this horn is totally restored. The clock is turned back to new mechanically, and it will need only routine checkups to play its best for many years to come.
I keep meeting so many good players who, it turns out, have never played a sax that was actually right all the way through. This one will is. It’s a joy to play!
The resonators are the expensive TM Custom ones, that are slightly domed brass reusable resonators like the 50’s Selmers originally came with before they went to plastic. They look good and work just right on these horns.
Only one available! Whoever grabs this is going to be in a really good place alto wise! If you want to get it with a new BAM case, I’ll sell you one at a great discount as a package deal.
