Trevor James Signature Custom Alto Saxophone

The Signature Custom Saxophone has been meticulously crafted in England by skilled technicians at the TJ Lenham pro-sax workshop who hand-finish each saxophone, ensuring a level of precision and attention to detail that elevates the sound and performance of the instrument. The hand-crafted quality of this saxophone means that every tone hole, every bit of keywork, and every touchpiece is carefully refined to produce an exceptional sound.

Designed with a focus on ergonomics, this saxophone uses rounded keywork with mother-of-pearl touchpieces, leather pads, and blue steel needle springs. The springs provide a smooth and consistent key action, allowing for better control and a faster response, while the leather pads ensure optimal sealing and resistance to wear, improving sound quality and projection. Together, these features deliver an unparalleled playing experience that prioritises comfort and ease of use.

Another great enhancement of playability is the high-quality regulation buffers. These buffers help maintain consistent key heights and provide a balanced, even feel across the entire range of the instrument. The regulation buffers are beneficial in reducing mechanical noise and enhancing key stability, resulting in a more seamless and enjoyable playing experience. Double-armed low C and C# keys also offer improved stability and durability, reducing the likelihood of them bending or becoming misaligned.
