A great buy for the price.
I recently purchased a Jean Paul intermediate clarinet for my 9-year-old son, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The clarinet’s quality exceeded our expectations, making learning enjoyable for him. Additionally, the customer service was outstanding—prompt, friendly, and genuinely caring. It’s refreshing to see a company that truly values its customers. Highly recommended for any aspiring musician!
I am a beginning clarinet player who also happens to be 60+ years old. I played saxophone in school over 50 years ago and have always regretted not continuing my musical education. I decided to learn how to play the clarinet, and wanted an instrument that was well made and that I would be able to grow into, and wouldn't "break the bank." The Jean Paul CL-400 intermediate clarinet had very good reviews, and a very reasonable price. The clarinet is well made and has an excellent fit and finish. It seems very forgiving of my beginner's technique (or lack of it), and plays well, with good tone.
Overall, I think this will be an outstanding clarinet for me to learn with, and look forward to several years of happy playing before I need to upgrade to a wooden clarinet.
I am very happy with my choice of a Jean Paul instrument.
I ordered a clarinet it can like a returned or open box item condition. I requested a replacement and the replacement was not better. Basically, the instrument has minor scratches finger marks as something that already returned by someone else. If you want a brand new looking instrument, Jean paul is not the way to go.
