Saxophones Trevor James Classic Alto Serials

[Petlyn]

Hi thanks for the visit.

Have bought myself a Trevor James Classic Alto in really nice condition I don't think it's been played 'ever'. I would like to find it's history looking at entries on the Internet I will guess early 2000. It's serial number is 0970 however there is a strange symbol maybe a poorly printed elongated D or squashed B that is spaced slightly from the numbers/figures and taller I don't think its supposed to be another 0, I'm baffled. I've had a look on Saxophone.org but the TJ's saxes are

not listed. I attach a picture should anyone be in a position to advice. Thanks.

Hi - I had a TJ alto in the T00800 range that was from the early 1990s. This was just marked "The Horn", not Classic or another variant. Your serial number seems to be a different variant, with a leading D rather than a T, so it looks like they changed their number format at least once.

I currently have a TJ Raw alto in the T7000 range, which reflects the original format.

Have you tried getting in touch with the company directly? WorldWind Music

Good luck!
