Selmer Paris Mark VII Tenor Saxophone – Early Production – Serial 246168

This Selmer Paris Mark VII Tenor Saxophone (serial 246168) is a very early example of the model, built right at the transition from the legendary Mark VI to the Mark VII. Early Mark VIIs like this one often share playability traits, response, and tonal character closer to a late-era Mark VI—making them highly desirable among players looking for vintage Selmer performance without the Mark VI price tag.

This early Selmer Paris Mark VII Tenor Saxophone is a player’s horn—a well-maintained, professionally used instrument with impressive tone and responsiveness. While it shows normal vintage wear and needs two inexpensive replacement parts, it’s a solid, great-playing Selmer with character, history, and a distinctive aesthetic.

If you’re looking for a vintage Selmer tenor with Mark VI DNA, excellent pads, and strong playability, this is a fantastic option.

Selmer Paris Mark VII Tenor Saxophone – Early Production – Serial 246168

This Selmer Paris Mark VII Tenor Saxophone (serial 246168) is a very early example of the model, built right at the transition from the legendary Mark VI to the Mark VII. Early Mark VIIs like this one often share playability traits, response, and tonal character closer to a late-era Mark VI—making them highly desirable among players looking for vintage Selmer performance without the Mark VI price tag.

A Pro Player’s Horn

This horn was professionally played up until only a few years ago, and it shows in the best way: it’s dialed in, responsive, and ready to play. The setup is crisp, the action feels great, and the horn has that classic Selmer tenor color—big, warm, and direct with excellent projection.

Unique Custom Pads

One standout feature of this tenor is its custom pad setup:

  • Pads have a red sparkle appearance

  • Red felts used throughout

  • Pads are in excellent condition, sealing well and contributing to the horn’s solid response

This custom aesthetic gives the sax a stylish and distinctive character while maintaining dependable playability.

Condition Overview

  • Finish: Original lacquer with typical signs of wear, scratches, and play use consistent with a vintage professional instrument

  • Repairs: The sax has had some minor repairs over the years—normal for a gigging horn—but everything is solid and functional

  • Missing parts:

    • The teardrop screw is missing

    • The thumb hook is missing (the previous owner did not use it)

    • Both parts can easily be replaced for under $40 total

  • Pads: Excellent condition; horn has a very good setup and plays well across the range

  • Case: Comes with a case (not original)

  • Mouthpiece: Not included

Why This Horn Is Worth Considering

  • Early Mark VII—closer in feel to the Mark VI

  • Professionally played and maintained

  • Strong setup with clean action and great tone

  • Unique pads add character without compromising performance

  • Great value for a vintage Selmer Paris tenor
