Store Information
Saxquest has had a number of the five digit Mark VI's through our shop over the years. They are a great way to go if you are looking for a powerful player with a lot of color and easy response. This one in particular had the majority of the finished removed by a previous owner. The physical body of the tenor is in great shape showing some history of repair. Because it is mostly in raw brass it is pretty hard to know the exact history. Looking over it carefully there has been some past solder repair as well as some body work around the bottom bow. Someone had an additional connecting arm added between the F and F# pad cups. This is a somewhat standard modification we see on many Mark VIs. The idea of the modification is to add additional support in the bottom key stack. This saxophone is with a slightly later vintage Mark VI neck. The neck currently has an old pickup plug in it. But this will be professionally removed while the horn is at our shop.
