Trevor James saxophones “music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music, but man, there’s no boundary line to art.”

Our responsibility with Trevor James saxophones is to help you open up your imagination to new musical experiences giving you a deep feeling of being at one with your TJ horn. Trevor James saxophones

Trevor James saxophones

------

There really is nothing like finding a saxophone that you really gel with. The pleasure you get when you first blow a wonderful instrument and open up all the sound and colour possibilities is beyond mere words. It’s a feeling, a deep feeling of being at one with your horn.

A Trevor James saxophone blends traditional sax manufacturing techniques with a modern approach to design consultation with leading artists, teachers and musicians of all abilities and ages.

The award winning Signature Custom models remain the ultimate investment for any professional or advanced player and draw on our decades of experience in innovative design and manufacturing quality.

The Trevor James SR are step-up instruments specifically designed for players who need just that something extra from their instrument. Using the hand built professional Signature Custom models as the template, the new SR instruments have taken on many of the mechanism and crook features that were previously only available to professional players.

The multi-award winning Trevor James ‘Horn’ Classic needs very little introduction as it is widely accepted worldwide as being the perfect introductory instrument for any new player. Ease of sound production enables the new player to advance faster and enjoy their music-making whilst they learn.

Wanting to ensure that enthusiasm for playing the saxophone is not lost at an early age, the ‘unique’ Trevor James Alphasax has been a huge hit with sax teachers who are working to develop the instrument to a wider audience. Unique in design, the Alphasax continues to generate considerable excitement amongst new young players and their parents!

Whether you want to start learning the saxophone or are a seasoned professional, you can be assured Trevor James saxophones will provide the perfect match for your musical development and performance. Model : Alphasax The unique saxophone for the younger and smaller player!

The Alphasax is based around the original body tube of an alto saxophone with completely redesigned mechanism and tone hole positioning for the smaller individual who would previously have been told to “wait until they got bigger”, before they could learn to play the sax. Only 1.86kg in weight, the problematic keys with long finger stretch have been removed or redesigned for extra comfort. Compared to a traditional alto sax, the weight has been reduced by an amazing 33%.

The Alphasax is in the key of Eb, with a full two octave chromatic facility using established finger positioning to enable the smaller player to learn the alto saxophone using current study books. New and innovative mechanism has enabled the finger positioning of a normal saxophone to be maintained, which makes subsequent transition to the traditional alto saxohone seamless. Trevor
