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.

Great instrument, easy air control, can go from soft to a really big sound without any effort

I started playing alto sax all thoughout Jr. High, High Scholl and College with a Vito student sax which is now 43 yrs old and still plays well. I stopped playing for many years due my military career that was very demanding and raising family. 2 years ago I had the urge to play again and I bought a Better Sax which is well built and playes really nice but after playing every day and I wanted more from my alto sax. So I research high and low for a Professional Sax that would meet my specific needs cost wise and sound wise as well. The sax I wanted was out of stock so I left my information to be notified when it was available and sure enough I received an email noticed that the sax was in stock. So I decided to buy the Jean Paul 10th yr anniversary silver and gold model right then and there. Good thing I did because they have 2 left in stock lol. This sax is not only beatiful, well built but it sounds head and shoulders above anything I have ever played before. I am now 61 yrs old and playing this sax makes me feel like 12 yrs old again. I love everything about it. Others mention customer care and I agree, it is responsive and fast to want to meet your needs. Gracias Felipe!! I highly recommend this saxophone for any level sax player. Thats my baby below. Aint she gorgeous???

I love this little saxophone. The mouthpiece that came with the horn is pretty good. With my own soprano, hard rubber mouthpiece and 2 1/2 Van Dorn Reeds. I am able to play the palm key notes all the way up to F sharp and down to low B flat easily. The intonation is right on, which requires your ears and Ambusher and air supply. The silver finish looks beautiful and the cleaning cloth that comes in the case keeps the finish polished when you’re done playing. Recommend you get a cloth drying accessory that dries the horn out well after each time you play. I am also keeping my eye out on that Anniversary tenor Sax model!

I recently ordered and revived the professional alto saxophone. I was surprised to receive a video of my instrument being played before it shipped. I was skeptical at first, but that first note was glorious. This sax is a huge improvement over the one I had from Eastrock. I think I’m going to stick around as a long time customer.

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.

I have been playing on the professional unlacquered model for two years now and have loved every moment of it. I played it in a paid college ensemble, and the range, depth of sound, dynamic ability, and consistency has made me a lifelong Jean Paul user. I truly cannot recommend it enough.
Playing in a college band, we swing those things around, dance, set it quickly up and down, put it through freezing and hot temperatures, and it has withstood everything. Rain or shine, the outdoor bands play and I know it is always ready for what I throw at it.
And the mouthpiece is comes with too is reliable as well. By far the best set up yet.

Congratulations. Doc and you'all make a great team.

This thing was $80?? Totally worth it. Very easy to play

We had purchased the TS-400 model in April 2024 for my 14 year old High School Freshman so that he would have his own instrument through his high school experiences. Within this same year he has accomplished many goals, such as 2025 W.Va. 2nd Chair Tenor Saxophone, 2025 West Virginia University High School Honor Bands, 2025 West Virginia Wesleyan Jazz Honor Bands, and 2024 249th Army Band All State Masterclass. And his freshman year isn't even over yet. 98% of his accomplishments is through his own dedication, hard work, etc. but the quality of instrument definitely matters. This student horn through Jean Paul has given my child wonderful and lifelong memories and the quality and sound is beyond measure for price, quality, etc. Highly recommend this instrument and Highly Recommend Jean Paul quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent
