Here is an example of a Fleming Musical Instruments & Repair exclusive Mark VI alto saxophone. You're probably asking, "Well why is that the case?" This is no ordinary Mark VI, it is our owner's (Ed Fleming) Mark VI! Meticulously taken care of and maintained since his ownership. The man who's name is on the front of the building and the person that is responsible for us serving the musical world. (Have that be repair or instrument sales.)
The much sought-after Selmer Mark VI saxophones are truly amazing horns that have held up over the test of time, and this instrument is no different.
The serial number (#211XXX) indicates this instrument was manufactured in 1973, one of the final years of the fabled Mark VI run right before Selmer started production of the Mark VII. The 1973 Mark VI alto saxophone has a longer pant-guard and a medium short bow. This alto saxophone bolsters its original lacquer with slight wear on the palm keys and other key touches. Slight surface scratches can be seen throughout the body of the saxophone, but these are purely cosmetic. The bottom stack D# key guard shows signs of being previously resoldered. The neck included with the saxophone shows no signs of pull down damage!
Included with the instrument is an extremely well taken care of coffin case with a case cover. The inside of the case has no signs of staining and all the zippers move with ease. (No locking or skipping when you try to open anything.)
