I used to play on a Selmer Series ii Alto, but would never expect that a student model Trevor James saxophone to blow it out of the water. I initially bought a TJ Classic II for my student as I hear that they make decent student horns. I was skeptical at first, but as I …
Hi Sandro, Happy New Year to you! Sorry I have been crazy busy but wanted to get back to you to let you know that the replacement RAW you sent me is awesome! I really, really love the sax! Once again, I compared this horn to a lot of top shelf horns…2 Selmer Reference 54 …
I’ve been playing this horn for a few weeks and it is absolutely perfect. Its the best sounding horn I have ever played. That includes all of the mkVI’s and SBA’s I’ve played. Every other player I play for or hand the horn too is amazed by the sound and feel of the horn. This …

The pillars and fittings are neatly made too and well-fitted with no signs of sloppy solderwork, …
Another horn that I was able to try this year was the Trevor James Signature Custom RAW XS tenor. The finish of the RAW XS compared to the RAW has quite a bit more hand polishing which gets it down to the raw brass, and in my opinion resonates a bit more than the RAW, …

I have spent over 40 years in search of the ultimate tenor sax. I have owned a Selmer Mark VI, Yamaha YST62, tried the reference Selmers, 36 & 54. All great super saxophones in their own right. That was until I was introduced me to the Trevor James Custom Signature Raw tenor! I was hooked …
This horn just feels so comfortable and correct in my hands; the ergonomics are excellent and the action is outstanding. Believe me when I say that Trevor James has “hit a home run” with the introduction of these models. I have tried many of the newcomers on the market, and done extensive research in my …
