Trevor James SR

A quality step-up for those upgrading from their first sax.

"Positively creamy. It's not without sparkle though, but it's a gentle sparkle ‐ not so much like the fizz you'd get from Champagne, rather it's the more subtle bubbles you'd find in a glass of freshly‐poured Guinness. And Guinness is a good analogy, it captures this horn's inherent laid‐back smokiness. You can pep up the fizz by putting a bright mouthpiece on this horn, and it will sing for you, but you'd be missing out on its forte ‐ it's got mainstream jazzer written all over it...."  Stephen Howard..Author of the Haynes Saxophone Manual

Launched in January 2011 the Trevor James 'SR' tenor has been developed in close cooperation with sax players around the World such as Andy Sheppard, Andy Snitzer etc.

Using the hand built professional Signature Custom models as the template, the 'SR' tenor has taken on many of the mechanism and crook features that were previously only available to professional players. The results are very free blowing tenor saxophones with rich tonal characteristics.
