167,xxx Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone, Original Lacquer
1969 167,xxx Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone with original lacquer. This sax arrived with a new set of pads. Its previous owner had the pads recently replaced only to find that due to health concerns, holding a tenor sax was not possible anymore.
This is definitely a battle tested Mark VI tenor that has seen its share of use over the last 40+ years. The great news is that despite not having much lacquer left, the horn has never been relacquered. Selmers are built like tanks, so even though this one has significant cosmetic blemishes, it plays like a classic 1960's Mark VI. It's a very charming horn that has a silky, sweet timbre. The neck is original to the horn. The sax comes with a new Bam Classic case, that is one of the very best cases on the market. The sax just received a full service from my repairman and it's playing great. I don't think you're likely to find another 1960's original lacquer Mark VI tenor for this price anywhere.
