from 1362 reviewsEverything I've bought from Jean Paul as far as saxophones go has been nothing but a great experience. I tend to like their student / intermediate models more so than the pro models just out of my own personal preference. They are big and resonant-sounding horns. Even better than Keilwerths, in my honest but humble opinion. When you pick up a student horn like this and it feels alive under the fingers and vibrates in your hands you know you have a professional grade instrument. This is a horn I cannot put down. You can never go wrong buying one of these saxophones. As a company these folks are some of the best. Carlos, Tim...Enrique.. so many many more I'm sure that I'm missing. This is the best saxophone for the money. And I say this without reluctance- they all play any Yamaha on the market. Again that's my honest and humble opinion. Their professional model saxophones are also very good and can rival any Selmer. My only complaint is that I would like to see more engraving on the student models. Even if there were an up charge. Other than that I can't be happier. When I play I sound like me. And that's the goal. To sound like yourself! And you can do it with a Jean Paul!

Student Alto Saxophone
I am thoroughly impressed with the professional alto saxophone anniversary edition. From the moment I received it, the quality of the materials and the attention to detail in its craftsmanship were evident. The sound is powerful, clear, and responds perfectly to every nuance. I've noticed a significant difference compared to other saxophones I've tried. The service was also outstanding—I received a video showcasing all the details of the instrument before delivery. Definitely a 10/10!
Played the horn for over a month and I love the horn. Sound is on the warm side. With the default mouth piece and the Rico 2.0 reed that comes with it, I can easily get the next octave overtone without using the octave key over all the 1st degree notes. However, the right pinky keys are abit tight (maybe my right pinky is just weak). Overall very satisfy with the horn.
I will definitely go for the pro horn once I saved enough money.
On a separate note, I also order the Optima mouthpiece but sad to say, after a month the tapered end of the mouthpiece chipped for no reason. Don't believe it is due to me bitting on it as the mouthpiece that comes with the horn are still intact.
I ordered the Alto Saxaphone and it is a really well made instrument. It sounds really rich with great, full, rich sounds at the bottom and top of the ranges. Being picky, the only complaint I would have is the neck strap could be a little better. It has a tendency to creep on you over a practice session.

I will recommend your company to all my sax playing friends. PS. I never received the box of soprano 2.5 reeds you promised … ???
Service was great. My Granddaughter was happy to play her own clarinet again with a new mouth piece. Jean Paul even sent her a mouth piece protector. Thank you all very much.
My son loved it. Thank you
Great looking and durable luggage tags to immediately identify your personal belongings when traveling! Great Design and Quality! - The FnkySax Player!
