Custom Saxophones The Signature Custom RAW Sax Play a professional sax which gives you genuine ‘RAW ‘ power! This new Signature Custom model features a finish in it’s rawest state possible! Rather than having the usual pro-sax treatment of polishing and buffing the brass and then applying a finish or lacquer, in this sax the metal is left RAW and simply ‘dip cleaned’. Beyond this it is left unlacquered so that the colour will further fade with oxidisation. The sound is therefore influenced by the player and not by the lacquer or finish! • Complete flexibiltity of sound through a new designed hand modified crook • Angular change to crook giving more comfortable playing position • Large bell flare giving enhanced power and low octave stability • Stunning intonation and openess of sound from enhanced octave and venting design The Signature Custom RAW Sax is part of the Signature Custom professonal alto and tenor saxophone range designed and hand built at our pro-sax worshops in Lenham, England. All Signature Custom saxophones are built to order with finishes available in RAW, gold lacquer, silver-plated and bronze. • • Built using the best quality brass alloy and then minimising polishing and interference to the material. • Unlacquered of course giving the ‘Horn’ a vibrant response with huge colour and tonal range options! • Improved Mechanism adjustment to create rock solid stability • Finer pitched adjusting screws to allow for smaller adjustments • New double arm design provides (1) Protection to Low C from twisting (2) Protection of Low C# from damage by sax stands (3) Double arm on Low D to help prevent key twist from distant position of touchpiece however heavy your finger pressure (4) Double arm for F key to create solid seating for F but also a solid foundation to F-F#-G#-Bb adjustments • Genuine shell touchpieces...of course! • Finest quality blue steel needle springs...as usual! • Finest quality Pisoni pads, waterproof with chrome resonators “What a killing Horn”...Andy Sheppard “A superb Horn” ...Phil Veacock “Impressive Horn”...Theo Travis ....The TJ team were looking for a horn that would break them into the pro market. They’ve found it, and in so doing have rewritten the shortlist. It’s not just a good horn, t’s a great horn - and for the price you’d have to be utterly, utterly insane not to try one before buying anything else! Stephen Howard - Author of the Haynes Saxophone Manual RAW XS model - hand buffed for the old vintage look
Alphasax “The Alphasax is such a great idea and it works brilliantly. I would whole-heartedly recommend it and think that every primary school should have one!! Theo Travis Professional saxophonist/ flautist/ recording artist/ producer/ educator ‘Horn’ Classic II Saxophones “ When I tested the TJ Classic I found them to be a sax that means business; like a horn that will give you a great start in your sax playing career. It can deliver sub-tones with ease and when needed can sound loud and punchy. The ergo nomics are good and the keys fall right under your fingers with no big stretches required. Without doubt, a great sax that responds well to all styles of playing.” Andy Brush - London sax player The innovative Alphasax - the alto saxophone for the smaller player! How many budding new jazz, rock and classical musicians have been lost as a result of being told “You’ll have to wait until you grow before you can play the sax”? Previously the only option available for the smaller / younger player would have been to try the clarinet or even the soprano saxophone. In designing the instrument we have addressed the weight and hand positioning which would usually have been the issue for the younger player. With new ergonomic mechanism for the smaller hands, the Alphasax is the perfect way to “capture that enthusiasm now with a ‘real’ alto sax!” *** Alphasax Instrument weight = 1.86kg Instrument case = 1.48kg Total package = 3.34kg TJ ‘Horn’ Classic alto saxophone Instrument weight = 2.45kg Instrument case = 2.90kg Total package = 4.90kg Trevor James ‘Horn’ Classic II Saxophones Three times UK Music Industry Association Award Winner for Best Woodwind Instrument The Trevor James ‘Horn’ Classic II soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones Our primary aim in designing the Trevor James ‘Horn’ Classic models was to develop and manufacture a range of alto saxophones to fit into the distinctive, reasonably priced, student saxophone category without compromising quality. 20 Years on, the timeless multi-award winning ‘Horn‘ Classic II has been upgraded with features and finish options to maintain its position as one of the World’s leading student saxophone brands. * Free blowing instruments * Hand modified crook chamber to enhance the tonal characteristics * Wide variety of plating and lacquer finishes * High quality design and parts * Durable * Exclusive value added features * Designed and manufactured by musicians * Hand set-up in our Lenham, Kent U.K. workshops * Award winning saxophone history * Trevor James 5 year guarantee * Soprano, alto and tenor saxophones are available in gold lacquer, silver-plated, black with gold lacquer mechanism, black frosted body and mechanism and black with silver-plated mechanism * Baritone saxophone available in gold lacquer lacquer only.
