Trevor James Signature Custom Tenr Saxophone - RAW XS

Built in the TJ Lenham pro-sax workshop, the Signature Custom professional alto saxophones have been made with extra refinements expected on saxophones at this level. As an advanced and professional sax player you will have experience of playing saxophones made of different metals and finishes.

The Signature Custom saxophone aims to bridge the gap between what the player demands on their ‘horn’ and what the manufacturer supplies in return.

The award-winning Signature Custom saxophones have been developed following continuous cycles of research, improvement, testing and review with sax players around the world who wanted a genuine vintage sound. Unlike many other makers who simply apply a coloured finish to the instrument to give it the appearance of being old, we have simply preserved the saxophone in its raw manufactured condition and added the mechanism to allow the instrument to resonate freely.

RAW Finish

The extraordinary ‘RAW’ and ‘RAW XS’ models were born in 2012 after extensive testing, research, and discussions with saxophonists worldwide.
These instruments were designed for those seeking an authentic vintage sound and an instrument that exudes a beautifully aged aesthetic.
The Trevor James Signature Custom RAW saxophones are finished in their raw brass, unlacquered and dip-cleaned state. When we say it’s RAW, we mean it!

The 'Raw' XS undergoes meticulous hand buffing, giving the body and mechanisms a stunningly realistic old sax appearance, while the standard 'RAW' model showcases a distinct and captivating dark finish throughout.
