 Re: Mark VI Alto Sax

Actually with mark VI saxophones, they might as well be strads in the eyes of most saxophone players. I personally have several saxophones and only one a mark VI. That's my tenor sax and It is unfortunately a late 60's model with some value but it isn't the player i was told it was. Not all VI saxophones are great and many are just average that can be beat by most pro model saxes made today of any brand.
My VI is like yours except my uncle was the origional owner and like yours was a closet queen. He gave it to me for a graduation present since I was going to college to play sax. It looks brand new and plays well but any guardalla tenor will just kill it in sound, tuning, and playability. My VI is still mostly a box queen and it only comes out once every couple of months for a checkup and take it out to make fellow sax players envious. When I went to college, I thought I had the best tenor on the planet until I played on some new saxophones. If you want to get rid of It and It's in good shape, I've turned down well over 5k for my tenor since I know it will be worth twice as much in 10 years. I keep it for sentimental value and the honor of saying that I own a Mark VI.
