Features
- WIND INSTRUMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE: Jean Paul's mission is to make music more accessible to the world. The TS-400 is designed to support students as they develop their skills, offering dependable performance and lasting durability for lessons, rehearsals, and performances. Built with long-term use in mind, it is an excellent choice for advancing musicians and school music programs.
- THE TENOR VOICE STUDENTS GROW INTO: The TS-400 is a true student-to-intermediate tenor: the deeper, fuller voice students reach for as they move up from alto, and the warm, full-bodied tone alto players step into when they want a horn for jazz combo, big band, or school concert work. The yellow brass body gives the TS-400 the resonance the tenor register is known for.
- NAPBIRT-CERTIFIED SETUP IN THE U.S.: Every TS-400 is set up and play-tested by a NAPBIRT-certified technician in the U.S. before it ships. Pad seating, key heights, spring tension, cork heights, and regulation across linked keys are all dialed in before the horn leaves the warehouse. The TS-400 plays its first note in tune, not after a paid setup at the local repair shop.
- TAN LEATHER PADS WITH DOMED METAL RESONATORS: Tan leather pads with domed metal resonators give the TS-400 the projection and tonal core students need to be heard in section work. Solid rib construction reinforces the body against the daily flex and pressure of student life, and blue steel springs deliver the consistent key response practice depends on.
- STUDENT-FRIENDLY DETAILS: The high F# auxiliary key extends the upper register into the territory intermediate repertoire and jazz solos demand. The adjustable thumb rest fits the full range of hand sizes, the key buttons are mother-of-pearl, and hand-engraved detail runs across the bell, bell lip, and bow.
Description
The TS-400 Tenor Saxophone is the perfect step up for players transitioning from alto sax to tenor, offering the same rich tone and superior playability.

Complete with a durable, fabric-covered ABS case for safe transport, the TS-400 provides everything you need to explore the tenor sax with confidence and ease.

Hello, saxophone shopper. I have played he tenor, alto and soprano saxophones since I was in high school from 1968-1971. In those years I have owned Martin, Cannonball, and Selmer saxophones. I actually collect all sorts of musical instruments, many of which I play, some I just enjoy owning as functional art objects. I sold my Selmer MK 7 tenor in 1971 to buy my first cello, which has been my main musical instrument the last 52 years. I gave my last alto saxophone to one of my grandchildren, and I sold my Cannonball Big Stone Raven tenor this year because it was tying up $3500.00 and I didn't have enough time to play it and warrant keeping it. I sold it last year but didn't want to be without any tenor saxophone. I also only wanted a silver finish tenor because I like silver horns more than the more common gold lacquer models. After much careful research, I decided to purchase a Jean Paul Intermediate model tenor from Amazon in their limited edition silver finish. I believe Jean Paul instruments is an American musical instrument company based in Florida, and I believe their band instruments are manufactured in Taiwan. You might want to check that out for accuracy if you care about such things. I have been delightfully surprised by this $1200.00 tenor saxophone. The key work is very smooth and quiet not unlike my beloved 1970 era Selmer Mk 7. Selmer/Paris (the top line Selmers actually hand made in Paris, France) saxophones are probably the most beautiful and coveted saxophones in the world, and my Jean Paul tenor feels much like it in my hands. The sound is excellent, and the horn is very attractive. The bell is lightly engraved, not at the magnificent level of a Paris made Selmer, but those horns cost $10,000 as of this year, out of this amateur musician's ability to own. It is still a very attractive horn, visually, which is important to me. I would certainly recommend the Jean Paul intermediate tenor saxophone for any elementary, junior high or high school band student. Perhaps as an marching band second instrument for a college marching band saxophonist, because many players don't want to expose a $5000.00 - $10,000.00 horn to the rigors and weather of marching band use, even if they are fortunate enough to own one. And for adults who played when in school and are coming back to playing after a multi-decade break but cannot justify spending or afford to spend thousands of dollars on a premium brand like Yamaha, Selmer, Cannonball, et al, he Jean Paul intermediate tenor, and I imagine their alto as well, will serve you well in any application. I have done occasional gigs and played in a Community Symphony band for one year with mine. The price includes a quality mouthpiece, strap, cork grease, and an extremely nice black vinyl, leather like case. I can highly recommend this very affordable, great sounding, great playing and good looking tenor saxophone. Well done, Jean Paul Musical Instruments. I am impressed! Score? 10 on a scale of 10. Highly recommended. Buy with confidence! GCS

My name is Steve Jones and I am a lover of Jazz music. I am very serious when it comes to music and I only use the best products on the market. Not the most expensive – but the best. It is only through quality products and quality playing that I can appreciate the sounds that come from great saxophones, cellos, bass guitars, etc. If I could give Jean-Paul USA a 10-star review I would. This is not only the highest-quality tenor saxophone I have ever owned, but also the highest-quality company I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. They are customer-focused, quality engineers who are attentive to the needs of musicians. I own the Jean-Paul TS-400 saxophone and it is comparable to the high-end saxophones that people sometimes pay thousands of dollars for. It is a beautiful instrument, and I can tell just by looking at it that a lot of love went into making this saxophone. The attention to detail shows in every key, every engraving on the bell, and every curve of the instrument. First, it is a sturdy instrument, and yet it does not feel very heavy at all when it fits in the hands. And while most saxophones are nearly identical and shape and size, this one feels like it was molded just for me. It feels very natural and sits well when played. Next, it has a very professional sound that you can hear even when not blowing into the instrument. When you take it out of the box and press the main keys, you can tell just by the tones you hear from the bell that the seals are extremely tight and echo a great sound through the body of the saxophone. The sounds are clear, sharp, and indicative of a professional architecture. The keys press very naturally without any heavy pressure needed. Some keys on some saxophones require a little more pressure to work and can feel like a chore, but on this model they press and flow with a minimal pressure and natural feel. Each key has a beautiful pearl inlay with a slight indentation for finger placement. They are well-crafted and look exquisite on the instrument. The case is very high quality and hugs the saxophone tightly to ensure that no damage occurs when moving the instrument from place to another. There is no room for movement of the parts once in the case, so they are protected extremely well. There were also pads in between some of the moveable assemblies on the saxophone to ensure that no banging of the parts occur during shipment (so make to look for those and remove them when taking it out of the box). The product also comes with a warranty that will ensure you can focus on playing music without any additional expenses to fix broken parts. One last thing – I called the company today to tell them just how great this product is for me and I can tell you they genuinely care about the customer. They are very interested in producing high-quality instruments, sharing those products with musicians, and hearing back from the customers about their experiences. It is not very often a person can say that they have 100% satisfaction with a company, but for the first time ever, I can. They care about people and will go out of their way to make we are taken care of. I am working with Jean Paul right now to test and review the AS-400 alto saxophone - so that will be in another review forum. In fact, I will continue my relationship with Jean-Paul knowing that I am getting quality products from people who care and take great pride in their craftsmanship.

I did my research and while this tenor sax was best within my budget, but it was far beyond what I got for my money in quality. It is very well made and the people behind it are fantastic, in customer service, easy to talk to and incredible to interact with. They set a standard of customer response that I know cannot be topped anywhere for anything. Getting back to the instrument of my youth in my advanced older age has given be a lift mentally, and I owe it all to the folks at Jean Paul. There is NO downside to this purchase. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness.

Sweet Tenor Saxophone! (Jazz too). The responsiveness of the keys is amazing. The sound. (Tone) is incredible. It works beautifically with my dark sound TP- SYOS tenor mouthpiece (MP) and JodyJazz MP. The weight is moderate (not heavy). My Jazzlab neck/ shoulder strap supports it well and feels so light and comfortable. Lastly it’s very affordable. I went from checking out a desired $4000 Cannonball tenor Sax, to spending less than $800 (actually $532 on a mint used JP Tenor sax ). So serious wins here! Cons I took off 1 star due to the low Eb key being too close to the low C key. Not ergonomic. However the other keys work great ergonomically

I play a few instruments but hadn’t had the chance to play the sax (always wanted to but focused more on other instruments)-that being said it was time to finally get one-so I looked here on Amazon-decided to go with a tenor and ordered one-(off brand)-after my impulse buy I tried to research it and couldn’t find anything on YouTube-while I was looking I found a vid comparing different saxophones-thanks Jay Metcalf (Better Sax on YouTube)-and learned about the Jean Paul-before the video was finished I canceled my other order and went with the JP-and let me tell you-I’m glad I did!!!-Amazing in all ways-you can feel & see quality in certain things and with this in your hands you’ll immediately know that some serious care and craftsmanship went into this sax-as I’m progressing and able to get out more rich sounding tones it just confirms that I’m really glad I went with this sax-the keys move with ease and just feel so smooth-the tone is so rich-amazing instrument to say the least... The case it comes with is AMAZING as well!!!-the sax does not move at all when in place and it is just a quality case all around-even the embroidery is impressive-comes with a pretty good swab-you’ll want to keep ‘er clean as possible... The mouthpiece it comes with is good but I definitely recommend upgrading as soon as you can-it will make a big difference-(won’t make you play better but when you get things clicking you’ll definitely notice the difference)-I went from a Yamaha 5C to a Vandoren TL3 then ultimately to the D’Addario Select Jazz Limited Edition sandstone marble(D6M)-all play great but the D’Addario (for me) is the winner-the TL3 plays great as well just a bit more subtle-Also I’m using a Vandoren M/O ligature-fits perfectly on both the TL3 and the D6M but pretty tight on the Yamaha 5C- but it will work-I’ve tried a bunch of reeds and Boston Sax Co. are my favorite so far-using a #2 for now... these mouthpieces seem expensive but if you’re making an investment like this you might as well do it right-I read somewhere “why would you put a $30 mouthpiece on something you just paid close to 1K on-at the price point of this sax you can pick up a few things that you might not be able to afford going with a Yamaha or something better/more expensive (they get up there price wise)...Good Luck on your new journey!-I’m really enjoying mine!...

Very happy with my new economically-priced Jean Paul TS-400 tenor sax. After not playing for 3 decades, I was surprised I was able to get a low C out of the horn on the first try! Easy to play, quality made. Love the "Jean Paul" emblem. Case is superior and I'm confident it will keep my horn protected. Customer service is par to none. I'm so glad that I decided to go with the Jean Paul TS-400. Thanks for offering this quality horn at a price that doesn't insult my pocketbook!

I bought this sax in 2017. It’s a great horn for the price. Like any sax, I recommend upgrading the mouthpiece to get the most out of this tenor. The reason I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because I had to take it to the shop to remove and adjust the placement of the neck strap ring. It was too close to one of the keys and cause the neck strap latch to bend/obstruct the key. My friend didn’t have that problem (part of the inconsistency). 2023-2026 update: now that I’m a better player and I’m playing in a community concert band, I have noticed its limitations. The upper register tends to be very sharp to the point where the mouthpiece is barely hanging on and even with this, some of the notes are flat in the lower register (even after lipping up and down to adjust the pitch). I have tried several mouthpieces to try to correct it. The high G is very inconsistent, it tends to be sharp, and sometimes doesn’t come out or plays an overtone (this has always been the case) and I have to often significantly adjust my embouchure to make a decent sound. I’ve taken it to several shops and they’ve said “nothing is wrong with it that’s just how cheap horns are.” It’s a great sax for beginners but after that it takes a lot to sound consistent and in tune. Maybe I got a defective horn?

The pads on this tenor are little thinner than expected so longevity might be a concern, but it played excellent. I would highly recommend this horn to any beginner or even an intermediate player. Truly excellent value for the money. In fact, I don't think there is a better horn available anywhere near this price. I tested an Allora and an Etude that were more expensive and this Jean Paul played better. The lower notes played easily and intonation was better than average. Keys are a little small for bigger hands but perfect for younger students. The only thing I would upgrade immediately would be the mouthpiece. Start with a Yamaha 4c or 5c. Great match for this horn.
