AMAZING

I was honestly surprised by the quality of this saxophone and the sound it produces. For a student-level instrument, it feels really well made. I believe it could even work as an intermediate saxophone in the long run. The customer service was excellent, I’m very happy with my purchase.

Amazing saxophone, but ok ligature

I feel like my ligature was poorly made. I could tell that it wasn't the best. I now use another ligature along with the mouthpiece to play my saxophone. I'm still very happy with the saxophone, just a bit disappointed by the build quality of the ligature.

Update from 2023 purchase

This is an update from my 2023 purchase. Still a great horn. I do my own repair work as there are no pros close (live in Australia). After about 400 hours on this machine, did a clean, adjust and lubricate. This involves removing all the keywork, cleaning the pads and machine. There were no light leaks and it is still in excellent regulation. Surprising. Only replaced two corks more as a personal preference. It produces good sound, high to low, soft to loud. It is a bit noisy because of the low cost pads and regulation material but zoK for this price point. The important thing is I enjoy playing it. Will put in high end pads in the next 6 months along with a cork and felt (green) setup I like. That it arrives in playing condition via DHL and a JP pro sets it up is high value.

Paul John loves Jean Paul (AS-400 Alto)

I played sax in elementary, junior high, and high school but had not touched my old sax in 50 years. Wanting to get back into it, I realized that refurbishing my old sax would be rather expensive but while it served me well in my youth, it was not a superior instrument by any means. I did a *lot* of research, watching countless video reviews, reading reviews from persons who purchased this instrument, etc., which made investing in a Jean Paul AS-400 alto an easy decision. I've had the new sax only two days and I'm quite pleased with it. The finish, fit, tone, and value are exceptional. I can well understand the dozens of reviewers who asserted how good a sax it is not just for a beginner or somebody returning to the saxophone after years, but many who claim it sounds as good or better than their much pricier alto. Already, familiar fingerings and the return of what I hope will be a good embouchure over time will make etudes and practice pieces fun. I am so glad I discovered Jean Paul and highly recommend them for high consideration when shopping for a new sax or other instrument.
