Martín Perna's Saxophones

Listed among Perna's gear on his All About Jazz artist page biography.

I play exclusively Bari reeds and use SYOS mouthpieces. My main horn is a 1961 Selmer Mark VI (Low A). I also play a 1956 Martin “The Martin” Tenor, a 1953 Martin “The Martin” baritone saxophone (Low Bb) and a 1910 Buffet / Evette & Schaefer alto saxopohone. I use a Yamaha 281S soprano flute. My shekeres are made exclusively by Madeleine Yayodele Nelson (Women of the Calabash) (RIP).

It is specified to be a baritone in this June 9, 2019 Instagram post:

New Theo Wanne custom modified baritone saxophone mouthpiece courtesy of the whiz Matt Ambrose. @ambrosematter nerd time: I was using the Durga series 6 but sounding consistently sharp in warm rooms and environments. I couldn’t pull the mouthpiece enough to tune correctly. Matt added a longer shank to the mouthpiece to anchor it in the short neck of my Mark VI.

Another Mark VI is mentioned in this March 3, 2020 Instagram post:

The only way I can assure my horn (and hat) don’t get smashed. Thanks to the United folks who didn’t give me any grief today. (1974 Selmer Mark VI- Low A)
