Everything you need to play

Purchased the AS660 based on Dr. Wally’s review. Definitely worth its price…from the finish, to the tightness of all moving parts, the design collaboration with Dr. Wally, and most importantly, the setup that Jean Paul did. Played right out of the box first day with the stock mouthpiece (like a 4C), the stock Rico H-ligature, and the stock D’Addario Rico reed 2.0. Came with a neck strap that is padded and quite decent.

Decided to try Rovner Dark, Legere American Cut 2.25 with the stock mouthpiece. Played well to my liking. The key-work and good intonation are spot-on easy. You don’t have to fight to make this sax sing well.

Jean Paul has been in business for quite some time now, and this is their third Alto Sax offering (after the student and pro models). I like their story and the AS660 is a testament to that. Coupled with Dr. Wally’s contribution/recommendation, I do think this is a pretty well thought-of, well-made saxophone for the price they are asking. Highly recommended.

I bought one and I love this Sax. It took a while to get, but it came well tuned so worth the wait.

I'm an intermediate player, returning to the sax after 40yrs.
I'm guilty of buying based on aesthetics sometimes: I loved the look of the silver with black keys!
But when I played it, I was delighted at the warm sound and ease of playing all notes. It's way better than the Yamaha YS475II I was renting. After 6months I'm thankful I took the chance on Jean Paul.
Having trouble getting high E and F using alternate fingurings.

I’m going to try to relearn the instrument. Haven’t played since High School!
So very pleased with the quality of your 430 Trumpet!

This is the best student sax I've had so far. It is very well built, and is super easy to play, pretty much no effort needed at all!! I highly recommend it, and if you are still on the edge about it, check out Jeremy Trezona's review on it, the only major engineering problem he mentioned has been removed, so it gets that 10/10 rating for the mythical "perfect" student sax!

The only thing I wish they'd included is a swab kit, but those can be easily bought on the side, so not that important, I just wish they included one, they had everything else!

So, long review short, get this sax!

Student Tenor Saxophone

Good product as a professional instrument was hard to get in tune

I wish you would have sent a diagram to explain what all the keys do and where they are. The neck strap was uncomfortable and replaced for a $10.00 one that is very comfortable.I only used one of the reeds, the synthetic reed is way better. As a business you may want to upgrade the items that you send out to new customers. After all you want them to come back to shop ,don't you !!

Intermediate Clarinet

I recently purchased my second instrument from Jean Paul and the BG Sax Cleaning Swab Set came with it. With Jean Paul, every box has been checked. Their products are exemplary and their customer service is excellent.

After purchasing a Jean Paul AS-400 sax a few months back and being so impressed with it, I decided to purchase a Jean Paul TR-330 trumpet, hoping to make some headway after trying to learn trumpet on a Tromba plastic horn and an inexpensive pocket trumpet, both with mixed results. When my Jean Paul trumpet came, the first couple of notes affirmed that I had made the right choice. The instrument seems quite well-made and the tone is far superior to my expectations, but quite aligned with the reviews I had been watching and/or reading. I am 70 years old and play multiple instruments, but I cannot image any good reason for a parent to rent an instrument for a child when a modest investment in a trumpet like the TR-330 can yield much more "bang for the buck" over the course of a student's school career. Or, if you are an adult beginner, I highly suggest you consider this option. As with my alto sax, the fit and finish, the case, and care in shipping are all top-notch.

Getting used to this instrument, pure joy!

My son started taking trumpet lessons at school. During the first year, the school provided the instruments, but by the second year, parents were expected to get a trumpet for their child. After doing some reading and research, we decided to go with @jeanpaulusa.com, and we’re very pleased with both the quality and the price.

He’s been using his trumpet for a year now and really enjoys it! Their customer service is also amazing—Felipe helped and guided me through maintenance questions, which I truly appreciated as a new “trumpet mom.”
Ps we bought TR-330

I like this set a lot, use it instead of the swabs that come with new instruments.

The entire experience with the service department was amazing. I was able to explain my issue, send a video, and ask all the silly questions I could ever need.
They replied with a very supportive video with clear explanations and resolutions. 10/10. Thank you team!!
