I have a school bring me their Mark VI Tenor for repair. The only problem is it doesn't have a neck! The kids lost it. Anyway, the store upstairs can not deal in used parts, so shopping for a replacement MVI neck isn't really an option that I can do. The band director said he looked of a neck online, but had trouble finding on. I do have the resources to get one made, but before we go down that route I wanted to ask you guys. I checked the Selmer catalogue and it doesn't seem that they sell replacement necks for the VI. I DID however go back in our stock and tried a Ref 54 neck and it actually fit (not exactly but close enough that I could get it to) Do you guys know of anyone that's playing a MVI with a Ref 54 neck or any modern made selmer replacement or is that a really bad solution to this problem? Second, where is the best place to look for an actually MVI neck, and why are they so hard to find all of a sudden!! And third, do you think I should just forget the whole idea of replacing the neck and just have one made? What do you think? Thanks for you help in advance...
