The pads on your saxophone are important as they prevent air from escaping when you press the keys down. The SR tenor sax comes with high-quality Italian leather pads, ensuring you will have the best feeling action on your keys with the least air escaping. Each pad also features a metal reflector or "resonator". These small discs woven into the pads help enhance the tone of your instrument and are an important part of the sound. Metal reflectors tend to produce a slightly brighter tone with a crisp attack.
When pressing your keys you want to feel the right about of tension on your fingers. That's why Trevor James have added blue needle springs to the SR tenor. The steel springs are "blued" with heat to make them harder and prevent rust from forming. The advantage of blue needle springs is the increased spring action in relation to diameter when compared to stainless steel springs. There is also a more even feel of tension throughout the key travel, making for a better feeling when you are playing.
To add extra value to this instrument, Trevor James has included a few accessories so you can get playing right away. To keep your instrument safe, your saxophone is provided in a top-quality impact case. A lot of more expensive mouthpieces don't include a mouthpiece, fortunately, this one does have one. A good quality mouthpiece cap, ligature and reed are also included. This is the perfect complement of accessories to keep you playing as soon as you get your new saxophone.
