Near mint condition Selmer MarkVI baritone sax serial number M287xxx. There is no engraving except for the Selmer Paris logo. I talked to the head repairman but do not remember his name. He told me that Selmer never made Mk7 baritone saxes and that it was a genuine Mk6 made in 1978 or 1979 and was made during the current production of Mk7’s so therefore it had no engraving since Mk7 alto’s and tenor’s were not engraved. It now comes in a ProTec “coffin” case. I have played this off and on for the last 30 years as an amateur and have kept it in mint condition. I recently played this Nov. 6, 2018, in an orchestra concert. The pads all seal perfectly down to low A. The neck receiver does not tighten completely on the neck with the screw turned in all the way so the neck will rotate and it has been this way since I got it. I have been advised to leave it this way as either expanding the bottom of the neck tenon or shrinking the neck receiver may alter the response and since the response of this bari is fantastic I have opted to leave the neck loose. It does not swing freely but will rotate. The original lacquer is perfect except for the side Bb pad cup. The top edge of the pad cup and a small part of the hinge tube above it has had the lacquer erode as shown in one picture. This is the only evidence of finish wear and there are no other erosion spots anywhere else on the entire horn. This pad cup and hinge tube can easily be removed and relacquered and then the horn would have a perfect finish other than the minor scratches. Only one very small ding on the entire body as shown. The only significant scratch is on the front side running horizontal and is between the low Bb and A pad which can also be seen in the photos. I have regularly wiped this down using a silicone gun cloth to neutralize fingerprints and body salts. This bari sax has never been worked on for anything, it has all original maybe 98% finish and has all original, excellent condition, pads. There are some rub marks, not actual scratches, on the left side of the body/bell where it has rubbed against my leg during playing which are also shown in the photos. I use a BG shoulder harness when I play this and rarely use a sax stand as I did not want to scratch the bell. I carefully swab the sax after every playing by drawing a clarinet swab through the neck and using a Hodge Bari Sax Silk Snake Swab in the upper crook or neck. A mouthpiece is not included. Any damage to this will greatly reduce the collector value. You will have to make arrangements to personally pick this up and then assume full responsibility. It arrived damaged with some of the large tubing being accordioned, indicating it had been dropped. The balance will be payable at your bank in person.
