Ahh. The look and feel of a vintage Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone. It’s calming and delightful! This one stands out from the crowd with its beautiful dark lacquer. This is a gorgeous 1963 Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone 111k serial, which makes it the same version as the late 5-digit tenors like a 95k serial. The tone is medium dark and powerful, with a good amount of focus and projection. Nice and free blowing. This was a 1-owner horn that I got from an extremely friendly ‘greatest generation’ WWII vet (later band director/musician) who owned and played it the whole way through. He took uncommonly good care of it, along with the rest of the horns in his little collection. This sax still has most of its original pads, but it still feels almost brand new, and I’m tempted to say you might want to just seal the original pads with a leather treatment and keep playing this horn for a while. I rarely say that, but it feels like it was freshly overhauled last week. Selmer did SUCH a good job with the initial pad work on the Mark VI at this period. Man. The only past repair is a crease removed from the bell flare. Typical ‘bumped the bell on a stand’ type of thing. Looks good now. There’s also a tiny flat spot in the bow guard. Besides that, the horn is clean! Exceptionally good condition. It comes in the cool Pro-tec trey pak case in the photos, which has wheels and a pull out handle.
