Who the Mark VI Baritone Saxophone Is For
The Mark VI Baritone Saxophone is a vintage professional Eb baritone saxophone designed for advanced and professional saxophonists who need a flexible, full-voiced instrument for jazz, commercial, studio, and ensemble work. Its tonal character is known for a centered core, broad projection, and the ability to shape color across dynamic ranges.
This instrument is for the player who values the response and musical identity of a Selmer Paris Mark VI but does not require untouched cosmetic originality.
