A masterpiece looking for its next stage. This 1964 Mark VI tenor thrills from the very first note with its unmistakable Mark VI DNA: a powerful, centered core, paired with immense projection and an overtone richness that literally cuts through the room. Anyone looking for that true, assertive tenor sound will find it here instantly, feeling that very special musical depth.
Many SELMER connoisseurs appreciate and specifically look for Mark VI models with an early 100k serial number. Bearing the number 114512, this horn marks exactly that highly sought-after era in SELMER history. Visually, this instrument presents itself in impressively beautiful condition: the original lacquer is still intact at a magnificent 95%. The original neck has retained its perfect shape – without any bends or compression. The body and bow also show their best side. The fact that this saxophone has a musical past is shown by an honest detail: the bell rim was straightened in the past, which, however, does not detract from the massive tonal substance of this horn.
True to our promise “The love of the craftsman is audible”, this vintage horn has also been excellently cared for. It underwent a complete custom overhaul not too long ago at the renowned Swiss workshop Inderbinen. Mechanically, it is absolutely flawless, seals perfectly, and plays from low Bb to high F with impressive ease and precision.
