Steve really sounds phenomenal - great Phil Woods kinda vibe, very tasteful playing 🤩

I bought the Raw alto great sound! Then, two members in my band came in and bought tenor saxophones. (Raw, silver) Reputation for great customer service is well deserved.

I haven't played the Raw XS, but from listening to a comparison of multiples back-to-back, the Selmer Mark VI, 54, and this were my favorites for tone. I think that should be a significant compliment.

...it is Phin, I played an MK VI tenor for 40+ years, and while the RAW tenor has very similar sonority, I feel it's a superior instrument.

Mk6 was just well marketed ,

Sandro is a really nice guy, I bought the Gold Lacquered Alto Signature Custom model from him last year...a fantastic Sax to say the least :)

[@spontaneousgroovincombusti2902]

...and I bought my RAW tenor from him too- he is awesome, as is the Trevor James Signature Custom RAW, of which I'm an official endorser!

What is the recommended upkeep of the finish of the Raw XS compared with the Raw? Thank you.
