I can not really give a review because although the trumpet looks lovely, it is a Christmas present for our grandson!
I am pleased with the reeds I bought but, I used Apple pay to buy them and there didn’t seem to be a box for the discount code so I couldn’t get my £5 discount offer on the special weekend.🙁
The heart of the three medium soft reeds has almost been scraped away. This makes them unplayable because there is no stability to provide tonal control. I expect these reeds had not been tested.
Prompt response and quick delivery of the trumpet. Very efficient process.
Well made piece of equipment certainly meets my needs. Good stability and very functional.
I'm a retired head of music RNCM graduate, ex army staff band French horn player who joined my local section 3 ( winning!) brass band recently by invite on e flat bass, ( Imagine that transition !) Having bought a second hand jp 4 valve bass this year I had no qualms about getting a jp euphonium. It is good to play, very well in tune top g not sharp 4th line d not flat, lovely tone responsive in all registers. I can get a 4 octave chromatic range relatively easily. Whereas budget French horns are invariably awful, this euphonium is close to its £8000 counterparts for a fraction of the price. Top line players might not like my comments but in my opinion grade 8+ players and music students would be more than happy with this instrument it won't hold you back at all. Full marks JP and customer service exemplary.
A beautiful tenor horn. The quality is wonderful and it sounds so much nicer than the previous horn. The level of customer service we received from JP was superb. Our daughter is extremely happy.
A wonderfully free blowing reed which really enhances my playing. My intonation is so much better with this reed, it’s so wonderful that I’ve found the right one for me!! Speedy delivery too, all neatly wrapped up. Thank you so much!!
Having tried virtually every other lube, I've found this the best. "Goes off" quite quickly but I find that a daily application with a weekly clean keeps the slide super slick.
Very easy to hire. Clear instructions. Initial problem solved quickly and easily by very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely instrument for beginner bassoonist. Came with everything needed to play straight away. Only issue was I didn't realise that the 1st month hire charge had to be paid alongside the upfront charge.
Great service with post and packaging. The hand support is a little tricky trying to get the plastic sleeves over the bell section brace, also with these being hard plastic, they allow the whole thing to move so you really need to tighten the screws. These sleeves should have been made out of a dry rubber material which would not move, unlike the plastic one's.
Fast delivery and a sensible price for this beginner's horn. Very happy.
Great service quick and easy order process and express delivery at a reasonable price.
The instrument is in perfect shape, the shipping was timely and customer service friendly and responsive
