Very solid construction, and a good long term investment with that classic "Selmer sparkle". Mark VII with "M" model was the Mark VI body tube.
Don't sleep on these! The mark vii's are really great players with the authentic vintage Selmer sound that will never be made again!I've owned and played this horn regularly for the last 6 years. I've played hundreds of gigs with it and it's a great sounding horn with a big sound.
I get a big, yet bright sound since I use a metal mouthpiece and play mostly rock, blues, and freejazz. But I'm moving and not gonna be playing as much in my new location. Here are a few recent videos of me playing this horn. Metal mouthpiece with ligature size 7 tip opening. I'll be taking this sax off the market on2-21-24.I'm in the process of moving.
