1962 Alto Saxophone SELMER Paris Mark VI, high F#, engraving, #99951

A saxophone is as individual as a personality. This 1962 Mark VI alto captivates with a phenomenal projection and a beautiful, punchy core sound. It delivers exactly that highly sought-after, centered tonal core that instantly makes the player feel musically at home from the very first breath.

Bearing the legendary 5-digit serial number 99951, this horn unites historical significance with true vintage character. Visually, this saxophone is an honest witness of time: While the still quite well-preserved gold lacquer and the elegant engraving are present, the exceptionally heavy scratches on the bell clearly show that this instrument was lived with and loved intensively in the past. It is not an untouched museum piece, but a true “player’s horn” with its very own, authentic patina. A special feature for this era is the high F# key, providing even more agility and range to its already brilliant overtone spectrum.

Our guiding principle is: “The love of the craftsman is audible”. The mechanics of this Mark VI deliver on the promise of its punchy sound: The saxophone received a complete custom overhaul in our SELMER authorized workshop about 5 years ago. Since it was only played recreationally as a hobby for about 3 years after that, the instrument remains in excellent, highly reliable mechanical condition and comes freshly adjusted directly from our SAXOPHONIC workshop.
