This is a freshly overhauled Selmer Mark VII Alto saxophone. It was just overhauled by Steve Collins of Collins Hornworks, and it feels GREAT. Steve’s pad work is really good, especially on modern altos like this, so this horn is now in better-than-new mechanical condition and will be good to go for many many years hence. This horn is structurally clean with no dents or dings or resolders. It has cool euro-engraving, which is unusual to see on a Mark VII. This is a nice, clean example of a Mark VII.
Tonally, the Mark VII is actually really interesting. It can play dark and muted with a classical mouthpiece, giving you a woody, round kind of tone. But with a more jazz/commercial leaning mouthpiece, the horn naturally brightens up, becoming medium bright with quite a bit of edge and lots of power. If you are looking for a great Selmer Paris saxophone under $3k, this would be a very good option. The build quality is, after all, better than the more recent Selmers, and the tone is really nice too. This horn ships in the original case, which is in good condition.
