Trevor James SR 'EVO'

Introducing the latest model design from TJ saxes, the SR ‘EVO’ saxophone (September 2017)

This horn (which will be for the UK market only at the moment) is a development of our popular intermediate 'SR' model.

Professionally designed key tail assemblies for additional venting stability
Top quality Italian leather pads
Metal pad reflectors which give a dynamic & full bodied tone ... read more

The scheme has been extended to allow anyone to purchase an instrument for someone aged under 18. Please enquire for more details.
