Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone

This vintage Selmer Mark VI Alto Saxophone (Serial #193053, built c. 1971) is in great condition and features a master overhaul by Ishimori in Tokyo, Japan. It combines legendary mid-century French acoustic design with world-class Japanese technical precision, offering peak professional response, rich overtones, and amazing action. Highlights & Specifications Instrument: Professional alto saxophone Maker: Henri Selmer Paris Model: Mark VI Serial Number: 193053 (Circa 1971) Condition: Good vintage player condition with honest cosmetic patina; structurally pristine Service: Fully rebuilt and precision-adjusted by Wood Stone / Ishimori. Why This Mark VI Stands Out The Selmer Mark VI is universally prized as the pinnacle of saxophone engineering. Serial number 193053 places this horn in the early 1970s “sweet spot”, possessing a focused, flexible core tone that cuts through a mix or blends in a section effortlessly. What elevates this specific horn above standard vintage listings is the complete overhaul by the master technicians at Ishimori in Japan. Famed globally for their meticulous craftsmanship and Wood Stone accessories, an Ishimori rebuild ensures that the mechanical action, pad seating, and intonation balance operate better than factory-fresh standards while preserving the instrument’s vintage soul.
