  • Old man very impressed. Good customer service.
Configuration: Brass Style: Saxophone only
Back in 1996, I played in College on my baby. A YAS 62 purchased in 94. In the intervening 24 years, I haven't gotten to play at all, and I lost my "baby". I've lost 100% embasure(sp?) and 80% of my fingering muscle memory. But mentally, I still know alot about the instrument. I finally have the time to try to get music back into my life, and rolled the dice on this very affordable student saxophone. I am, frankly, in shocked awe at this instruments fit and finish. Other than the lowest few notes, and the altissimo range(which is probably due to my lack of mouth muscle tone) only the D is 1/8 of a note flat. All of the other notes are in tune with each other. I was NOT expecting that. The right hand index finger side key, only used for a few notes in the upper register, clicks a little, as it contacts the key below it. Also. The one thing keeping this from being 5 star all around, is bottom post on the D# key(r hand top pinky key, see picture) has had the soldering fail. The case holds the instrument securely enough that I do not believe this was transportation damage. (After I have time to register the instrument and contact the company, I will update this review based on the results of that contact.) Other than that, all of the keys are the same height. All of them have the same tension. All of the little cork and what looks like silicone pads on all of the keys are attached well, and are even slanted to make flush contact with the body when depressed. This is something that is as good or better than when I got my YAS 62 so many years ago. Some of the springs on the low (left thumb) notes, are even bent to allow for clearance of the other keys to be at the same height, something I remember being very much a problem on my first beginners Saxophone in the mid '80's....and is something I thought would not possibly be done on this instrument, given it's price point. I had read some of the bad reviews, and I scoured this saxophone for scratches, water damage, or water marks on the cork, and it is clear this is a new instrument. I ran my finger along the holes for as many of the holes as I could reach, and I found no dents or burrs. Though the bottom (r hand bottom pinky key) hole has a bit of a rough spot that might wear the pad in time. The swab that it came with is high quality. The neck strap it came with seems cheap but is very comfy. I do wish that it came with a swab for the neck, and that will be my important first purchase before I play the instrument much. I remember reeds being a low% hit and miss thing, back in the '90's, so I did not have much hope in the one that comes with the instrument, but mine was actually quite good, with surprisingly even grain that makes me suspect it was hand picked by someone who knows what to look for. I may be wrong, it may just be luck of the draw. The mouthpiece it came with fit very nicely on the neck's cork. For me, it seemed as if either the reed was too soft, or the mouthpiece gap (distance from the mouthpiece to the reed) was too small, or both...as I found myself squeaking alot. But it is also likely a result of 2.5 decades of not playing. I do believe that the smaller opening and softer reed is a good idea for children just learning. The case seems to hold the instrument securely, I can not speak to it's durability. It has some nice features that my yas62 case in the mid 90's didnt come with. I plan on putting a number of hours of work, re-learning scales and muscle tone, over the next few weeks, and will update this review with durability information. (Pending repair requirements for the popped post solder) But as it is, I think any beginning player (or old man trying to recover some youth in a mid-life crisis like myself) would be lucky to have an instrument like this, even if it was at double the price. (It is my assumption that the post soldering is an easy, inexpensive fix, that might be just a few minutes with a technician.) ****post Customer service update**** After registering my Saxophone with Jean Paul, I sent an email with a photo of the popped solder. They sent me a pre-paid label, and I sent it UPS to they service center in Miami. They let me know when it was shipped back, and I received it back today in wonderful condition. It plays like an instrument worth much more money, which I attribute to their technician's setting up the keys correctly. To be honest, I was going to just pay a local shop for the solder job. But because of the covid, it would have been in quarantine at the local shop longer than it took to send it back to Jean Paul to get it fixed for free. Due to the positive interaction I had with their customer service, I'm increasing my review to 5 stars. ... show more

  • Fantastic Alto Sax
Configuration: Brass Style: Saxophone only
I play clarinet and wanted to start on sax - watched a lot of you-tube reviews and was a bit leery of ordering an instrument on-line - however - this sax was given consistent good reviews as a great beginner instrument and I concur. It is evaluated and adjusted by specialists before it goes out and it is obvious. My horn is wonderful - sounds great out of the box. I have put it through its paces and it generates a very pleasant sound and is very well built. I can vouch for the quality of the build and its great sound. It may be a beginners instrument - however, I would (and will be) proud to play this instrument in a band - in church or just gigging - I love this instrument - thank you, thank you, thank you.... Jean-Paul I am having a lot of fun with this great alto saxophone. ... show more

  • Excellent student alto saxophone
Configuration: Brass Style: Saxophone only
I bought this as my first alto saxophone coming from learning on the tenor version by the same company. The reason why I chose to go with the Jean Paul instead of other student saxophones is because of my customer service experiences when addressing issues with my tenor - I honestly don't believe any other musical instrument company on the planet puts that much effort into taking care of customers who have already given them their money. Pros for this instrument: -Price - even after the price increases it's still a better dollar-to-value ratio than any other sax on Amazon. -Came set up perfectly from the factory, plays well with no leaks or weird intonation issues. -Stock unbranded mouthpiece plays surprisingly well - about on-par with the Yamaha 4C that comes stock on their student models. -Well-built for the price. With regular maintenance and a little TLC I could easily see this instrument lasting a generation or two. -Excellent customer service. Cons for this instrument: -Lots of tooling marks, scratches, and blemishes in the physical appearance of the sax - especially on the backs of the keys. Does not impact sound or playability in any way, nor would an audience be able to see them from a stage but still - something to be aware of if that matters to you. -Key travel isn't great compared to other student models. -Base model only comes with one reed. If you are buying this for a child or if you are a beginner who isn't used to how careful you have to be with reeds you will definitely want to pick up some extras along with the sax. -Plastic travel insert for the neck receiver came a little oversized - it was difficult for me to remove and I couldn't get it back in afterward. -included ligature is a bit finnicky. This one could just be a personal preference thing, but I dislike two-screw ligatures because they can be a little time-consuming to set up. Who I believe this instrument is for: -Beginner to intermediate players of all ages who need something that just plain works, is reliable, and don't mind a few cosmetic blemishes. -Performing artists who want something inexpensive to gig with so they don't expose their high end instruments to the elements, risk of damage, or theft. ... show more
