    errr... Have you tried the vintage sax link on this site? I bought a mark VI from saxquest a little over a year+many gigs ago. I'm EXTEMELY happy with the horn and service. ((unsolicited)) -Johnnie

      They're all over the place. Try all of the vintage sax sites. However, don't discount other horns that are just as good. I know there are those who say there was never any sax better, but I and many others here would disagree.

        Its a trricky buy because you can never know who was the owner of this horn. I looked over SaxQuest Vitange saxaphones and I didn't find a thing.. someone can send me to some web that I can look for a Mark VI ???

          Not to pick on you srGal, but if you are serious about buying a nice, professional, vintage horn such as a Mark VI, it bears mentioning that the instrument is spelled "Sax-O-phone", not "Sax-A-phone". Good luck on your search, MKVI horns are everywhere, but be prepared to demo a few and part with the big bucks for a good one. Best of luck.

          Don't know what browser you're using ,srGal, but I see no less than eight unsold mark VI tenors of varying condition/prices in the vintage sax section of this website. The selmers start on page two of the listings.
