This instrument falls within the 140,000 series, the same year as the model David Sanborn used. While it belongs to a highly regarded range among the many Mark VI models, this particular instrument maintains an extremely rare condition, with the original lacquer finish preserved almost entirely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhile instruments from this era are typically well-played and often exhibit distinct tonal and response characteristics, this particular instrument retains a neutral, unblemished state due to its minimal usage history. In other words, it allows you to experience the inherent design potential of the 140,000-series almost in its raw, unaltered form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe sound is light and responsive to the player’s breath. It has a quick attack and clear definition, yet when played with more force, it expands with substantial depth and richness. It also offers a wide dynamic range, allowing for seamless control from soft to loud passages. While it differs from the so-called “matured vintage tone,” this very quality leaves ample room for the player to shape the sound according to their own approach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis is not an instrument that is “unfinished,” but one that is “yet to be perfected.” An opportunity to experience the core of the 140,000 series in this condition is unlikely to arise again in the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e☆Okubo Gakki: All adjustment work is performed in collaboration with Odagiri Workshop, a specialist saxophone repair shop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/blogs\/news\/%E7%AE%A1%E6%A5%BD%E5%99%A8%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%83%8A%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA-%E3%82%B5%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9\" title=\"サックスの正しいお手入れ方法\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e☆How to Properly Care for Your Saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.Selmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49709690716397,"sku":"C104722","price":2090000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/A_DSC1777.jpg?v=1774174158","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/american-selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone-1969","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
