JP045 antique Alto saxophone

'Neatly packed inside a strong yet slim case lays this little beauty, a paradox with its up-to-the-minute manufacturing technology and old-fashioned looks. It has the same dark colouring as an instrument from the mid-1930's and some deliberately period features, such as engraving around the inside of the bell and an underslung crook reminiscent of the old King Super 20. It thus offers all the advantages of a modern hooter to those who fancy the look of something a little more vintage.

The vintage feel ends, however, with the sound that comes out of the end. This is all modern, crystal clear, bang in tune and terrifyingly easy to play - harmonics fly out with such ease that you'd think there was a small motor in there!'

Pete Long

JP 045 Raven Alto saxophone

'What 'The Raven' gives you is the black lacquer and the 'black lacquer' sound. To the uninitiated, this may sound strange, but black lacquer affects the way the instrument resonates - imagine how differently you'd resonate if you were covered in black lacquer! The sound that emanates from the Raven is smooth yet bright, with a lovely jazzy buzz. As with all JP saxophones it comes at a ridiculously cheap price and would suit anyone who is looking for something a little different.'

Pete Long

JP 141 Alto saxophone

'The sound is warm and pleasingly heavy. One of the reasons pro players use the instruments they do is because as you push the sound louder the saxophone responds, keeping the sound rich and musical without harshness. This saxophone can do this too, making it very satisfying to play. Tuning is very good though and the supplied mouthpiece fitted well and worked well with the Rico reed.'

Andy Tweed

'The Blues 141 has excellent tuning throughout the 3 registers and is incredibly stable throughout the whole range. This saxophone is a very solid instrument - it is fairly weighty, but not overly so. This makes it a powerful instrument, with a great deal of dynamic flexibility and very good tonal response.'

Martin Kay - Music Centre Manager - Bolton Music Centre (Saxophone and Clarinet Specialist)

JP 042 Tenor saxophone

'This new tenor comes in at around 8% of the cost of the current market leader, and quite frankly, blows all the other intermediate instruments clean out of the water. There is now no point buying anything else until you feel you are ready for your first professional standard hooter. No point. Even then, it will make a very useful spare!'

JP 043 Soprano saxophone

'I received the new Soprano a few days ago.....I can't believe how good it is, not only to play but the quality of workmanship and the standard to which it is built is incredible!. I wish these instruments were around years ago.'

John Whelan

This is a remarkable specification for the price. Soprano saxophones with two crooks, high F#, high G and an accurate tuning scale are usually restricted to professional models. The performance level is attested by the fact that several top players have purchased this instrument for professional use and have also recommended them for use by music students doing degrees in major music colleges.

Cadence Baritone saxophone

'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.'

Pete Long
