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 among 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#

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.
