    Beginner Saxes Decision time - Any advice?

    Hi lovely CafeSax people, In isolation, I have picked up my alto again for the first time in a good few years (I had put it on the side to focus on singing opera, but that’s a longer story) and after blowing for a couple of months, I have well and truly fallen in love with it again and have...

    Saxophones Seeking advice for a returning player.

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and looking for advice. I played Alto Sax for about 4 years in school, and stopped about 15 years ago. I have now decided to take it up again. As expected, I don't know what to get. I am looking at the Trevor James Classic II. That is at the upper range of...

    Tech/maintenance Trevor James Signature Series Tenor Octave + other woes

    Hi All - having problems on my tenor if anyone has any ideas: Dropping octave - when playing a high G and lower it's very keen to start voicing the lower octave. Also the transition from that G to Bb/A is very stuffy. The octave mech looks to be working fine - nothing bent, pads are covering...

    Tech/maintenance High notes

    I have a Trevor James ‘the horn’ version one and its not in perfect condition but not terrible. Lately it’s been acting up a little bit. For example, for a couple days last week i could not play a low c# as it would just play a c but that fixed itself somehow but now I’ve noticed when I try and...

    Tech/maintenance Rotating Octave Thumb Rest (TJ Raw Alto)

    Hello forum I have a Trevor James Signature Custom Raw alto, and have noticed that the left hand thumb rest rotates (with some resistance). Is this because it needs screwing in tighter, or is it meant to do this? I only noticed this because it is engraved, and for all I know they all do this...

    Saxophones YAS280 or Horn 88

    Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade from my cheap sax (rikter) - which even others on the forum have labeled lousy . It's gotten me far enough in my learning but the kinks are showing and I've sold it! So, I'm not looking to break the bank and was looking at the 900 mark (which is still a LOT if...

    Saxophones TJ Signature Custom RAW vs RAW XS - do they sound different?

    I have read previous threads on the TJ saxes but much of the discussion involved how the finishes are made and their maintenance. Here, it could be interesting to read comments from people who have played both the RAW and RAW XS versions as to whether they perceived any difference in the...

    Saxophones Trevor James Signature Series

    I would be very grateful if anyone could indicate the hierarchy of Trevor James horns. Assuming the Alphasax is at the bottom end and the Signature Custom Raw (and Raw XS) are at the top end, where in the list is the Signature Series in amongst the SRs, Classics, Revolutions etc. I'm currently...

    Accessories Warning For Trevor James Owners

    For those of you out there with Trevor James saxes, I've just discovered that the plastic clip on the sling that comes with their saxes can snap without warning. Mine has never been gigged or abused in any way, is a smidge over 12 months old, yet it just snapped in the middle of practise...
