The Selmer Mark VI, also frequently referred to as the Selmer Mark 6, is one of the most sought-after vintage saxophones in the world. This silver-plated example combines the characteristic rich core sound of a Mark VI with a direct response, powerful projection, and great flexibility in dynamics and tone color.

The instrument is fitted with high-quality MusicMedic Pro pads with metal resonators. The mechanism runs smoothly, and the tenor saxophone responds easily across its entire range.

Condition

This Selmer Mark VI has an authentic, well-played vintage appearance that is appropriate for its age. The silver-plated finish shows normal signs of use and age, but the instrument is in excellent technical condition and is ready for immediate professional use.

Tone and playability

The tone is rich, centered, and powerful, with plenty of warmth in the middle register and sufficient focus and projection for solo use. The saxophone responds quickly and remains stable from the lower register through to the upper range.

This makes this Mark VI suitable for a wide range of styles, from jazz and pop to big band, funk, and professional ensemble work.
