Pre-owned Selmer Mark VII alto saxophone, made in France. The Mark VII is a well-regarded professional horn that sits between the Mark VI and Series II in Selmer's lineage, known for a focused, centered tone with good projection.
Finish: Original lacquer with beautiful floral bell engraving and the classic Henri Selmer Paris stamp. The finish shows some wear consistent with age and use, pads are all in good shape and this instrument seals top to bottom after going through our shop. Comes with the original case that is in decent shape for its age. The next owner may want to upgrade the case to something more modern and secure.
