Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone SN 82525 - 2000 in Boone, North Carolina For Sale

Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone, serial number xxxx5, this is one of the hallowed 5 digit serial numbers. The instrument is in excellent condition for this xxxx model, which is claimed to be superior to later models. There are no dents or bent keys. The lacquer is also in excellent condition - I do believe this to be original, but cannot guarantee this. The tone and ease of play supports this famous model arguably the best model saxophone ever built, it is smooth and quiet in operation. It has had little use over the past 30 years, but during the last 6 weeks it has been professionally checked and serviced by myself being a professional member of the 'National Association of Musical Instrument Repairers' membership number xxxx2P.
This is superb instrument that comes with it's original mouthpiece, ligature and cap. The case is an original Selmer case which does show some signs of wear, the hinges and locks are in good working order. The flute support in the lid is missing and also a small area of velvet to the lid.
