237,xxx Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone, Original Lacquer, Just Serviced, Video
Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, s/n 237293. Here's a very late Mark VI alto saxophone that was one of the very last Mark VI altos that were made. In fact, many Selmer serial number guides will put this serial number well within the Mark VII production range. In fact, according to Selmer, they didn't start the full production launch of the Mark VII until around 240,xxx, although some prototypes with lower serial numbers can occasionally be found. The later Mark VI altos such as this one are fantastic horns. Selmer worked out some kinks through their run of altos, so the later ones have the more desired medium bow which is the best combination of good intonation and responsiveness.
My repairman just serviced this sax, replacing six pads and four key corks. The pads are sealing well. The sax comes in its original case.
