TJ Signature Custom
TJ Signature Custom Saxophones - Built Without Compromise
“On the specs alone it's an impressive horn… the RAW XS raises the standard for the 21st century alto.” Stephen Howard, Author of The Haynes Saxophone Manual
The Signature Custom series represents the highest level of TJ saxophone design, instruments created for players who know exactly what they want from their sound.
Every detail, from response to tonal depth, has been developed through extensive collaboration with professional saxophonists worldwide. The result is a saxophone that feels immediate, expressive, and completely connected to the player.

RAW & RAW XS - A Different Approach
The RAW and RAW XS models take a fundamentally different path.
Rather than applying a cosmetic finish, these instruments are left in their natural state and carefully worked by hand, allowing the material itself to speak.
- RAW: A dark, understated natural finish with strong character
- RAW XS: Hand-buffed to create a beautifully aged, vintage aesthetic
Both offer a direct, unfiltered connection between player and sound with a tonal palette that feels open, responsive, and highly personal.

A Personal Instrument

and expect their saxophone to respond without limitation.

Why do we not have prices on our website?
We do not sell our instruments directly to musicians. Instead we sell our Trevor James saxophones via our international network of specialist distributors. The details of the TJ representatives in your area can found here .
Sax Assembly Guide
- Put the neck strap around your neck.
- Take the main body of the sax from its case holding it firmly by the bell.
- Hook the neck strap on to the ring positioned about half way down the back of the body.
- Ensure the neck screw is loosened and insert the crook, which should line up with the neck strap ring.
- Tighten the screw so that the crook is secure.
- Apply a little cork grease to the cork (re-do once a week) and push the mouthpiece on to the cork with the opening facing downwards.
It is vital that when you have finished playing your instrument that you either clean it correctly or put it away in it’s case or place the saxophone on to a saxophone stand. Most of the repair damage we see in our workshops comes from players who have simply laid their saxophone down on a chair whilst they have ‘nipped’ out for a coffee or for lunch. Saxophones can be easily damaged!
Sax slings
All our included sax slings come with a non metal sax hook attached. The choice of sax slings is vast however we recommed you do not use a sax sling with a bare metal hook (unless it has a non metaillic coating over it) as over a period of time, the metal hook could possibly cause some wear to the sling ring which is located on the rear of the saxophone.
