This is a great deal on a 5 digit VI tenorFirst of all it is an old factory relacquerAs you can see it is nice and dark and the American flower engraving very goodThe MARK VI stamp on the back of upper body tube still visibleThere are NO DENTS OR REPAIRS and the horn has a recent overhaul with nice thin pads and domed metal Resonators and all new felts and corksThe pearls are like newThis horn was very well taken care ofSound wise I would say it is a great JAZZ horn with a more centered and focused soundThe inntonation is spot onThe matching numbered neck was never pulled down or damagedComes in a like new pro hard case with combination lock and the sax fits perfectly snug it there
