Dave T. – Selmer Mark VI – Baritone, Torch Restoration

I have no idea how you nailed the look I asked for. You are a true craftsman.

This was an experimental finish done in conjunction with the owner and his metal-working expertise. We had a lot of "fun" on this job, and the custom brazing repairs and new bow guard were a thing of beauty. She got black roo pads and Selmer nylon resonators with WWS Premium upgrades. Dave, the owner, had nothing bust excitement and praise for the final look. The process was longer than expected the list of comments from us both was entertaining to say the least. He sent me many knowing they would have to be included in this description, like "The owner wanted this." :

"Wow. Hot! Better than expected"

"I'm awestruck. That's more impressive than I had imagined."

"I think you guys really nailed it on the keys. It's going to look like an ancient mythical object, which isn't too far from the truth!"
