Here is a COMPLETE listing of the Selmer Paris Mk. VI and Mark 7 sax
keys and parts that we have for: Alto, Tenor & Bari.
This is the Ende of it!
I would 'stock up' on bari neck sockets (*).
On the bottom of this
page, is a short history of All Selmer Paris models.

* You can't even begin to fix one this cheap! These are New
and Round, Not smashed.
This is a complete
unit. The threaded peg is is already silversoldered on and the vent pip
reveal and slot are already machined in. An easy replacement for a better
repair!
*This has got to be the most performed damage repair on a Selmer Bari Sax.
Someone sent me this rundown several years ago,
I don't remember who
it was, but I thank you again, now.
~Vintage Selmer Paris Saxophone Models~
~Selmer saxophones were introduced as the "Modele 22", in 1922.
~Updated, though still with very small bores, the "Modele 26", in 1926.
~The famous "Cigar Cutter" models were made for only 4 years, 1930-1933.
~The "Radio Improved" and "Selmer Super Sax" (SSS) were similar to the
Cigar Cutter, with the Cigar Cutter removed. These were made until 1935.
~The "Balanced Action" were the first Selmer saxophones with the offset
keywork. Selmer introduced them in 1935 and made about 10,000 of them
~The "Super Balanced Action" followed and was built from 1948 until 1954.
It is said that they play similar to the later Mk. VI's which were smaller
and required less from the player, but still possessed the "Selmer Sound".
~The World Famous Selmer Mark VI alto and tenor saxes were made from 1954
until 1973, Mark VI sopranos and baritones continued until the "S.A. 80".
~The short lived Mark 7 altos and tenors, were made from 1974 until 1979.
~The "Super Action 80" saxes were introduced in 1980 and were upgraded to
"Super Action 80, Series II" in 1986. They are now, well into "Series III".
~Additionally, they now have a "Reference'35" and "Reference'54", which are
the bore tapers of the 1935 Balanced Action and 1954 Mark VI, using the
hole placement (improved intonation) and key work (better ergonomics) of the
latest Series III units currently in production.
