1955 Selmer Mark VI Tenor Sax
Original Lacquer – ProShop Overhauled

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 62,957 – Matched Neck
This particular Mark VI Tenor Sax is serial number 62,957 and is 100% original lacquer. This is an American market Mark VI with original (matched serial number) neck (has never been pulled down). The lacquer is original and almost completely in tact. There has been one area of damage to the body tube underneath the octave thumb rest. We have smoothed this area out but the cosmetic is still there. A full photo of this can be found by clicking here. The original case and original Selmer Soloist Short Shank C* mouthpiece is included.

Trial & Return Policy
We know how personal buying a musical instrument can be. Players have an obvious concern with shipping a saxophone from out of state that you haven’t even had a chance to try. Combine that with the large ticket price of this horn and it’s obvious that many customers can become hesitant about pulling the trigger only to lose out to another buyer because they waited too long. Don’t let that be you!
