Description
Primo 140,xxx MKVI alto. Has the original gray zippered Tray-Pack case, OEM replacement Selmer end plug (original was lost during the reconditioning/overhaul), original neck, original lacquer, hand-cut cork palm key risers, Beason key clamps. POW! Original American Lacquer, neck & case. No serial number on neck (American Selmers post-140,xxx I am fairly certain no longer had a serial number stamped on the base ring), however, interestingly, the last 3 digits of the serial number are hand-etched into the interior of the neck, at the base where it inserts into the body of the horn. Full, ultra- premium overhaul bringing it well beyond original factory specifications & tolerances! This horn came to me in 1998 from a friend who had purchased it from Joe Sax in NYC about a year earlier. I finally decided to get the horn reconditioned in early 2009. The overhaul job is still fresh and new and the horn smokes, rings, seals, sings. I haven't otherwise used it at all for anything since it's reconditioning, sticking instead to my backup horn which I've become so accustomed to after so much time apart from the MKVI. It's in the best shape that it will ever be in (far better than original factory specs in 1966) and so it's time to send it along its way... The quality of the reconditioning is the best I've seen, and the lacquer is 100% original. Final Information: The horn will ship with its original gray zippered tray-Pack case, an OEM Selmer endplug (the original one was lost during the overhaul but this one is identical OEM), & original neck. Original lacquer seems about 90%-95% to my eyes but check the photos. It is original lacquer. Please also take note of the hand-cut cork key risers on the left hand palm keys. It is listed above as "Reconditioned" to reflect the extent of the extremely high quality work that has been done to make this horn play & function among the crème de la crème!
