(On Consignment - Plays Very Good)

Here is a fantastic "player's horn" sax. Matching #93k on the body & neck, with good pads and a sweet tone! Adult-owned! - just after the Brecker-era serial numbers for Selmer Mark VI!

PADS: Good tan pads with lots of life left (More info coming), rebuilt by local WA shop in 2022 with all new tan pads, key swedging, etc. 

CASE: vintage Selmer tri-pack case, with working zippers and all bumpers intact. (More info coming)

TONE: Everything you'd expect from a 5-digit VI that plays well... clean, smooth, "vintage smoke" blended with warmth...

QUICK INSPECTIONS: There was no glaring repairs to address to mention. I did see the potential evidence of mild, past neck-pull around lacquer flaking lines. I do not think more people would notice this and it is very hard to photograph. The bow also shows the bottom indent to the bow guard.

RECOMMENDED REPAIR WORK TO CONSIDER: ... TBD under discussion ... may include a mention of oils or standard C.O.A. inspections. At the moment, definitely some oil is needed.

BONUS MOUTHPIECE: Selmer "Soloist" C*, short shank with Selmer lig and cap. It checks out as original facing with a 0.072" tip size and level rails. ***If you do not want this mouthpiece in the sale, we can negotiate it out for a $$$ value reduction.
