{"product_id":"selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-165069","title":"Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone 1969 Original Overhauled Excellent! 165069","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those altos you don't want to put down. It's just gotten a complete overhaul \/ mechanical restoration, which means that it feels and plays like new or even a bit better. I wanted to get this horn overhauled, because I had a really good feeling about how it played even on the original pads that it had when it got here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a one-owner horn that was well cared-for for decades before now, and now it is getting a good start on a new life with a top shelf overhaul. This thing has a beautiful voice. Medium between bright and dark, rich, and resonant. The late 60's Mark VI's are my favorites for all-around Selmer altos, because they do basically everything well. Intonation is good, scale is even, low notes are saturated even at pianissimo, upper register screams. This has the 'medium bow' if you're wondering about such things, which means the low register tunes the best of the Mark VI's. You can't beat a Mark VI alto like this for build quality and all-around satisfying playing experience. You get the beautiful, unbeatable tone of a Mark VI, the comfortable key work, the excellent intonation, and the feel of a new horn under your fingers, and all for less than a (let's be honest) comparatively poorly made new Selmer alto. Plus this holds its value and appreciates, while your new horn is going to be worth approximately half the new price in about one second after you unbox it (gasp).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with the original case, and you can add a great BAM case for a big discount if you contact me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.getasax.com\/sell-or-trade-us-your-saxophone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.getasax.com\/sell-or-trade-us-your-saxophone\/\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1604012956590000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNHOR_pNvOcmVTNb8h1dyGbhLBXF1w\"\u003eSell us a saxophone like this!
