Alto Saxophone Comparison: Selmer Mark VI vs TJ Signature Custom Raw

[@pimeye]

Thanks. The TJ is more mellow to my ears. I have a 232,xxx Mk VI and it is very bright and challenging to keep in tune at the top (probably me making it so sharp!).

[@garyjohnston1802]

The TJ definitely sounds brighter, much nicer sound, which really surprised me as I'm a big Selmer fan .

[@SAXOSingaporesg]

Yeah TJ has really surprised us with how good it is!

[@signaturesaxbymicksheldon]

The TJ Signature Custom Raw all day long for me !

[@SAXOSingaporesg]

Yeahhh! For us too :)

[@vincentgaglio5106]

I love the Trevor james. Interested in it wow

[@thepianokid27]

I am really happy with my RAW alto 😁 No regrets.

[@SAXOSingaporesg]

That’s awesome!!

[@thepianokid27]

@@SAXOSingaporesg yeah the TJ RAW has that character in the tone that the Mk VI doesn’t quite have. Like a few more layers to the tone.

[@SAXOSingaporesg]

@@thepianokid27 yeah agreed!!

[@BeachBoi1000]

Sounds very good. I wonder how it compares with Yamaha 62 in terms of pitch accuracy and ease of blowing and handling.

[@warrensledge5909]

Nice sound on both saxophone. What mouthpiece are you using?

[@philwalker1]

Nice! Would love to see a video comparing the Raw to the Silver.

[@SAXOSingaporesg]

Thank you! Yeah we could make that happen

[@juliantay88]

What's the mpc used for this comparison?

[@DanielChiaOfficial]

Hey Julian, that was a JodyJazz HR* 7 alto mouthpiece :)

[@ChipTheMusicMan]

I like the demo but it would have been better with a nicer mic setup - why use a clip on mic? I think it influences the sound too much.

[@antylemingable7128]

In my opinion the intonation of MK I is better.

[@mambojazz1]

Mark VI: full, warm: beautiful. TJ: thin, small, bright, only good for smooth jazz and nothing else.

[@mambojazz1]

I havent even heard the video yet and I already know Mark VI wins🤣 All modern horns are based on Selmer saxophones in the first place....

[@tboy5443]

The only sax to compare to a vi is a Grassi. All these modern sax always are weak
