SummaryReviewSignature CustomRather than having the usual treatment of polishing and buffing the brass, in this case the metal is left raw and simply 'dip cleaned', Beyond this it is unlacquered such that the colour will fade with oxidisation. TJ advise that you don't polish this finishThis model also has some new refinements such as double arms on the low C and C# keys."I have just had a good blow on both alto and tenor versions of the new Raw Brass model and can't believe how dynamic and expressive the sound is! There is a much greater texture and open-ness over and above the regular polished and lacquered finishes, and I think that Trevor James have discovered a formula that will speak volumes to many a jazz player!"Click here to read an independent review......As an advanced or professional sax player you will have experience of playing saxophones made of different metals and finishes. One metal may give you more immediacy or a brighter tone than another. You may have liked playing instruments which have been created using different metal combinations such as silver crook and rose brass body. You may even have preferred the vibrant tones and depth of the bronze and gold finishes. What is for certain, is that you know what you want and expect in an instrument to suit your own tastes and requirements. The Signature Custom saxophone range aims to bridge the gap between what the player 'demands' in a saxophone and what the manufacturer supplies in return. As an example, the new 'Raw' Signature Custom saxophones have resulted in the demand from sax players around the world for the Vintage and aged look. Unlike many other Companies who simply apply a coloured finish to the instrument to give it the appearance of being old, we have simply taken the saxophone in it's raw manufactured condition and added the mechanism. So when we say the instrument is RAW...it really is!!The result?....An instrument with a wide amount of tonal colours, sound options and flexibility which is more personal, more advanced and unlike any other!In addition to the new 'Raw' Signature Custom alto, we also offer Signature Custom in gold lacquer as a standard option to the RAW. For the sax player who really does want different metal combinations, then our 'Made to Order' 925 silver crook additions along with 925 silver crook and body, rose brass, bronze, black nickle-plated version will suit just perfectly
