Played my VII tenor for many years. Big sound. Excellent horn. As previously stated, the only issue I had was the shape of the VII neck while standing so I got a Series III neck which works fine. Also had a VII alto which was real nice.
Selmer MK VII Opinions? (Compared to more modern saxophones)
Hi all, I’m about to bite the bullet on a new tenor sax, and I’ve been able to find Mk VIIs in my budget.
I am shopping used, and for around the same price I’ve found cannonball vintage reborn tenors (I’ve had the
Chance to play them and I really like them)
The only issue is, while I love the sound of mk vi and mk vii tenors, I’ve never been able to play one,
And I don’t believe there are any I can try near me, I’d be buying them online via Reverb.
Opinions? I’ve heard the mk VII is criminally underrated and are often considered by those who own them to be fantastic horns.
P.s. The ergonomics won’t bother me (coming from a 1934 King H.H. white)
