Letting go of this gorgeous '61 Mark VI alto. This is a coveted long bow model, most of which were made at the tail end of the five-digit serial number range. It plays with a fat and powerful sound, balancing the signature mark VI brightness with lots of body and projection, especially in the low end. This horn has been fully overhauled and regulated within the past year and plays great! Free-blowing and expressive but takes lots of air and offers enough resistance to provide a huge range of volume and expression. It was played a lot before it came to me and has the looks to show for it- aftermarket silver plating, a (very well-done) neck tenon receiver repair, and wear on many of the keys and high-contact areas. The work that's been done on it is top notch, however, and it stays in adjustment very well and feels rock solid! Somewhat reluctantly passing this beauty along since I have an SBA whose sound I prefer. A really exceptional horn you don't want to miss out on- come try it out! Comes in a good condition MAX zippered hard case. If you're looking for instruments, check out my other listings too! I also have a number of saxophone mouthpieces for sale.
