Saxophones - Trevor James Signature Series - CafeSaxophone Forum
May 22, 2016 · I would be very grateful if anyone could indicate the hierarchy of Trevor James horns. Assuming the Alphasax is at the bottom end and the Signature Custom Raw (and Raw XS) are at the top end, where in the list is the Signature Series in amongst the SRs, Classics, Revolutions etc. I'm currently playing an SR tenor and a Classic alto.
Saxophones - Trevor James | CafeSaxophone Forum
May 25, 2017 · Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Tenor, after a hiatus in playing for some 5 years or so. I'm drawn to Trevor James saxes, but I'm not sure to whether to go SR, 88,or Classic 2. The price differential is around £300. Can anyone with experience of these horns offer advice as to the relative merits...

Apr 16, 2014 · I have a Trevor James The Horn alto as a back up - in fact I started on it some years ago. It feels a bit entry level against the Mauriat which is my main alto. The keys are not quite where I like them now and the tone at the bottom end is not as full. However, it's a good sax and nothing wrong with them, if you get a good one (asssuming second ...

Trevor James SR Tenor in Gold Lacquer. Anyone played one?
Dec 22, 2014 · it`s almost impossible to compare a tenor to an alto for keywork as there are totally different forces involved (rather like asking how a Suzuki Swift is to drive compared to a Nissan Navara) , for instance, my 1989 YAS62 Alto feels lighter and more counterbalanced than a Yani 992 Tenor - and the high end Yani tenors have actions as good as they get .....

Apr 10, 2019 · The trevor james I got has a sloppy octave key on the neck, it almost rattles in its screw where it attaches to the neck. This might have come from the previous owner maybe and may not be a built quality issue from the beginning? I think the octave key mechanism is not as smooth operating as it should be. It works but not super smooth.
Beginner Sax - Yamaha VS Buffet VS Trevor James VS?
Nov 9, 2024 · After ruling out the Alpha sax for the reason already stated, I would put the Yamaha at the top of the list and the Buffet at the bottom. The Yamaha is very well made, durable, dependable and has by far the best resale value of the saxes you list. It can be serviced pretty much anywhere. The Jupiter and Trevor James are both OK.
Saxophones Trevor James SR vs Conn Selmer PTS380V tenors
Sep 12, 2020 · Any opinions on Trevor James SR and Conn Selmer Premiere PTS380V tenors? Tone, action and build quality? Both are in my budget. TJ SR has Custom RAW as template which is a good base, Premiere has good reviews and I like the sound of it on YT videos, but I have fears on its unlaquered finish (I don’t like its other bronze laquered finish).
