Description

A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE WORLD'S MOST SOUGHT AFTER HORN!

This 5-digit Mark VI alto saxophone offers an exceptional playing experience, living up to the name. It produces a really nice, slightly brighter sound that’s perfect for a variety of musical styles, and it's also incredibly versatile and can truly open up and project when you push it. You'll find the tone remarkably consistent across its entire range, from the lowest notes to the highest, and the key action is beautifully well-balanced, providing a comfortable and responsive feel under your fingers.

This particular saxophone recently received a full service in our workshop, ensuring it plays absolutely flawlessly – truly like a dream. While it does show a fair amount of lacquer loss, which is quite common for a saxophone of its age, this wear actually enhances its character, giving it a desirable vintage look that many players seek out. It tells a story of its history.

If you're in the market for an earlier 5-digit Mark VI, a highly sought-after model among musicians, we strongly encourage you to come by and give this one a playtest. Its combination of excellent playability, consistent tone, and classic appeal makes it a standout instrument that truly needs to be experienced firsthand.
