Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone #115129 was manufactured in France in 1964. It is identical to the 5-digit serial number horns which Selmer made until, in 1962, they reached #99,999. For the next couple of years they made the same design, only with 6-digit serial numbers. The give-away is in the Bb and C side keys. The 5-digit horns don't have the noisy steel ball joints, and neither does this one. A one-owner horn, played professionally, and maintained in our shop for years. Great, open sound, smooth mechanism, and the original lacquer is about 60% intact. Comes with two necks, the original Selmer neck and a Ponzol P5. Here's a chance to get that 5-digit sound at a great price!

The Mark VII got a bad rep when it was first released back in 1974. It was such a radical design, very different than what players had come to expect from Selmer since 1954. Now there are plenty of horns on the market that pay tribute to the Mark VII. Heavier horns with larger pinky keys. A lot of players see these VII's as a lower priced alternative to the VI and SBA. Ours is a very nice example. Free blowing and easy to control, lots of varied tone colors. Not a bad horn at all. Completely overhauled in our shop, including stainless steel springs, premium pads with plastic resos, and a slightly lighter key action. Very nice!
