Rip to the person who owns the saxophone you've traveled back in time to purchase 😂

I paid $485 for my Mark VI tenor in 1973. From Zep Misner in Burbank, CA.

I don't remember going to Zep's in 1973, but I do remember Baxter Northup in Van Nuys , and I spent a lot of time trying mouthpieces at Dick Charles' Music in Pasadena.

I knew a guy who was in the navy stationed in Europe. He took a bus to Paris in 1939 and bought a Selmer Balanced Action, silver plate. It took my breath away to see it.

I was able to play one in high school also. Thank you to my band director!

Eric Marienthal: legendary musician and sax player!! God bless you, Eric! Thanks for all you did and do for the good music.

I'd like to know where he got one for $420! Eric is year younger than I am and I paid $620 to Marshall Music in Lansing, MI in 1972 for my Mark VI. Like him, I really didn't know what I was buying and didn't know what I had until I got to college.

I know a guy here in Philly that bought a Mark VI alto, brand new in 74 for $450

And I just paid 10 grand for my Mark VI 😅

I went back to his music book after many years on the book shelf and now really enjoy it because I understand what it does in its teaching!!

My Alto was my moms when she played in highschool… it’s a 1960’s mark VI also.. beautiful horn!! Unfortunately it’s not being played now a days 😢

Wow. In 1974 I looked at a new Conn Artist tenor. At $700 I decided I couldn't afford it. Admittedly this was Canadian dollars, but the exchange wasn't all that high. Of course our taxes were much higher, including a federal "manufacturer's sales tax" of 12% that was hidden in prices in those days.

And that vintage beechler is so legit! Jeez. Eric Marienthal is a badass!

Loved getting to play with Eric a few years back. I'm sticking with my YAS-62IIS though. I paid $2000 for it in 2012-2013 and it's still amazing.

i liked playing the 62II/62III better than the custom z/ex by far

19 years old in 1982. Bach Stradivarius 37 Bb trumpet. $550 purchased brand new from Manny’s on 48th Street in NYC. Pawned in Virginia Beach in 1990 for money to feed my infant daughter. Relocated to Florida that year for a work opportunity, never was able to reclaim my horn. Somewhere someone is still reminiscing about that pawn shop acquisition.

AWESOME. 🎷. PERFORMANCE.

In 1977 my teacher told me to be prepared to spend between 1 to 2 weeks wages to buy a professional sax. Now it's about 1 to 2 months wages.

You are lucky, in countries like Guatemala you have to work for more than a year to be able to have one. I'm talking about the average worker.

Eric Marienthal has influenced my playing probably more than anyone else who is still active. I'll have to watch this whole video.

Same exact story since I’m Eric’s age. Mark VI brand new, $400, Mannys in NYC 60% discount for my sax teacher passed on to me

I saw this man play live in weatherford OK I swear my and my other jazz guys during the state comp were losing our minds to this man’s solos.

My dad gave a saxophone which I didn’t know he had stored in his loft for many years. Cut a long story short, I rocked up at college for beginners saxophone class. It was only then i realised I was in possession of Selmer VI Tenor 1956 with high F#.

Yall are amazing!

Mestre Eric Marienthal. Show jazz.

$420 Selmer VI - LOVE IT!!!

$420 in in 1974 is equivalent to $2,800 today.

My 1964 MARK VI was $160 in 2022, I know that’s crazy to believe but it came with the original case, original mouthpiece and Berg Larsen vintage mouthpiece.

Wow. How?

50 years later, I'd say that it was worth the money.

What did that amount to in the period currency versus the latest inflation adjustment?

If he got his horn in 1970, $420 equates to $3,292.10. $20 a month would be the same as $156.77 today.

$420 in the early to mid 70s is equivalent to about $3k today. Selmer Supreme start at around $9k. 😳

I bought my Mark VI tenor new in 1973 for $500, case, case cover, tax, Selmer D mpc all included. I watched as the years went by and the value went up. This is only because Selmer threw out the dies.

no clue what my tenor is but it cost 10 grand 😭 well actually 1200 since they haven’t billed me another payment in 4 years

What is the song in the background, I haven’t been able to find it?

$420 for a Mark VI? Not in my wildest dreams! We can call it serendipity.

Adjust for inflation.

That’s crazy how we have to dang near buy a car to get decent sax

Could anyone name the song in this short

Selmer V I, too funny. I wish I could buy a new one for $420.

Now its $4,200 sometimes its $4,200 times 2 or times 3.

420 for a mark VI si brutal

I got my Axos for 3800 😢

I bought my mark VI for 150$ in April lol

Just think. Nowadays we are paying 1,500 dollars for a mouthpiece

But according to one of your videos reviewing the new Selmer, players like Marienthal only play Mark VI because their idols played it.

There is no good reason for Selmer to make the Mark VI, nobody would really want a brand new Mark VI."

Yea now in 2024 they are vintage saxophones back in those times they were cheapper now a days they cost 10k but i dont really like the sound of them horns they sound too old school too much round sound

Lol! Sadly, these dollars are not those dollars. What we could buy stuff for then vs. now tells us more about the value of the currency than the value of the stuff. Inflation is how we measure the lie that's inherent in fiat currency, as well as how insistently that lie is spoken by governments that drive it.
