1967 Selmer Paris Mark VI Tenor Sax
All Original – Amazing Condition!

The Selmer Mark VI Tenor Sax is revered by many as the best saxophone ever made. While much of this is a personal opinion, one cannot argue that the Mark VI is surely amongst the all time best with virtually every major professional player throughout sax history performing on the Selmer Mark VI Tenor Sax. Made continuously from 1954 through 1974 (with altos and tenors being made through 1976’ish & the baritone, soprano & sopranino made in to the early 1980’s), many players will group the earlier production among the best made and the highest performing of the Mark VI history.

Serial 147,466 – All Original Lacquer, No High F#
This particular Mark VI Tenor Sax is serial number 147466 is a completely all original horn. The neck (Selmer stopped placing serial numbers on the necks around 140,000) is the original neck, and has never been damaged. The horn as seen no true “damage” in its life. There is one keyguard foot (D# keyguard, top flange) that was resoldered but was done very well. There are a few very minor dings and some areas of acid bleed, but otherwise the finish is in excellent condition.

Pad & Playing Condition
This horn came to us still with original pads installed. The horn actually plays and plays quite well with these pads. So we are offering it with the base price “as-is”. If purchased in this condition, it will play as it comes out of the box, but pads are not designed to last 50+ years. If you are purchasing this horn to PLAY it, then to get the most out of this horn, it should be overhauled, and overhauled WELL. Seeing that we are one of the exclusive “Official Selmer Paris ProShops”, we KNOW how to treat it better than a standard overhaul.
