“What a Horn!”Andy Sheppard

“The best sounding modern horn” Eric Alexander

“The RAW XS is a superb Horn”Phil Veacock

“This is an impressive sax”Theo Travis

“A serious sax in the new Horn market”Simon Peat

“These RAW XS saxes are amazing”Andy Brush

“The RAW XS is the mother of all saxes!”Tony ‘Rico’ Richardson

The TJ boffins were looking for a horn that would break them into the pro market. They’ve found it, and in so doing have rewritten the shortlist. It’s not just a good horn, it’s a great horn - and for the price you’d have to be utterly,

utterly insane not to try one before buying anything else.” Independent review
