Pre-Owned Selmer Paris Mark VI Low Bb Baritone Saxophone - Relacquer (As-Is / Project)
We have a serious heavyweight on the bench today: a classic Selmer Paris Mark VI low Bb baritone saxophone bearing serial number 142284. If you've been looking for an entry point into legendary Mark VI baritone mechanics and that unmistakable vintage core tone without paying pristine collector prices, this is a fantastic project candidate.
This horn is a past relacquer that has clearly seen plenty of show-time. It is currently playing, but the pads are only okay and it will definitely need a repad down the road. Cosmetically, it wears its history proudly with flea bites, general surface scratches, small dents, and notable corrosion on the pinky keys and side keys. We are offering this one as-is, priced fairly for a player-grade Mark VI bari that's ready for a future shop overhaul or a dedicated DIY restoration.
