price: $xxxx
We are offering this incredible Selmer, Paris Mark VI tenor saxophone at a great price for it's value! Serial number xxxx7 places the date of manufacture c.xxxx. One of the best Mark VI's we've ever played here at the store. This instrument came to us very dirty and neglected for decades. When we cleaned it up we discovered that there was practically no lacquer left on the horn, so we opted to remove the little that was left. Now the raw brass is taking on beautiful hues of green, orange and purple in the natural patina that is forming. Mechanically the horn had had a lot of use and that is evident in the one cracked pearl and wear on the other pearls. There is evidence that a dent was removed from the bow and there is still a ding showing on the bow guard. Some pock marks in the upper stack near the palm keys. Apparently a dent was removed there. There are no other defects that we can see. We did no dent removal. Slightly tightened up some play (lost motion) in the mechanism. And did some countersink on a few screws. All springs are new! Overall the condition has been set up to last a lifetime. We just overhauled this tenor using Music Medic pads and brushed brass resonators. The combination of the lacquer removal and the large flat resonators gives this horn a fast response and a real kick to the articulation. What a sound! So creamy and fluid, full of color, yet has a certain brightness. The action has been set up to have a light touch.
Overall one of the great Mark VI's of all time!
Don't miss this opportunity! We have seen others selling this quality for double the price. We just need to get back our investment and move this horn along to someone who will love and appreciate her.
