JP 144 Baritone Saxophone Cadence

"I was introduced to the new Cadence on a recent visit to Packer's to pick up a couple of my instruments which had been put in for overhaul. When I arrived, Parky and the chaps were very excited about a new toy, which had just been brought back from Taiwan, and they asked me to have a quick look at it while I was in.

Knowing that a bit of market research can always be transferred later into discount reeds, I was delighted to help. I must confess that I was expecting the usual from one of the far eastern discount instruments. The usual normally consists of some pretty good engineering, a pretty good sound, and a pretty good price, with a couple more bells and whistles added on from the previous model.

Not so here- The Cadence is outstanding in every way. The only difficulty in playing came from trying to blow whilst standing dazed and slack-jawed in disbelief! From the very first note, the instrument performed as well as, if not better than its competitors in the very highest price ranges. Bang in tune, beautiful bright sound and easy mechanism all adds up to an unbeatable package for only £1895. Expect to see them on every street corner.
