Pre-Owned Trevor James Signature Custom Tenor Saxophone - RAW (Unlacquered)
For sale is a pre-owned Trevor James Signature Custom Tenor Saxophone in the highly sought-after RAW (Unlacquered Brass) finish, serial number T3829. Built to compete directly with the biggest names in the industry, the Signature Custom RAW has gained a massive cult following among professional gigging saxophonists. Because there is no layer of lacquer restricting the metal, this horn vibrates wildly in your hands, producing a massive, complex, and deeply resonant sound. She is a fantastic player that is ready to hit the stage or bandhall.
This is the ultimate tenor for the gigging jazz, funk, rock, or R&B player who wants a huge sound without the restriction of a lacquer coat. If you are chasing that smoky, spread, vintage American tenor sound but don't want to deal with vintage saxophone ergonomics and intonation quirks, the Trevor James RAW is exactly what you need. It gives you the modern keywork and reliability of a 21st-century horn with the soul and acoustic freedom of a 1950s classic.
The "Signature Custom RAW" Advantage
The RAW Finish: No lacquer, no plating. The raw brass allows the instrument to resonate freely, giving you an incredibly wide dynamic range and a rich, colorful tonal palette that you can mold to your own style.
Custom Neck Design: The Signature Custom line features a specially designed neck that provides a free-blowing response, ensuring the low register barks easily and the altissimo pops with clarity.
Pro-Level Keywork: Ergonomically designed for speed and comfort, the keywork feels instantly familiar and allows for effortless technical facility.
Built for the Stage: These horns are famous for being incredibly durable "workhorses" that hold their regulation well, even under heavy gigging schedules.
Finish: Unlacquered Raw Brass. This horn has developed a beautiful, authentic vintage patina. As is completely normal and expected with raw brass instruments, there are about a dozen fingerprint-sized spots of verdigris (green oxidation) located primarily on the bell and bow. This is purely cosmetic, adds to the rugged "RAW" aesthetic, and does not affect the structural integrity or the incredible sound of the horn in any way.
Body: Structurally Sound. There is no major damage or trauma to the brass. It has been played and loved, but well cared for.
