Everything 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. 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 better than any Yamaha on the market. Their professional model saxophones are also fantastic 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!

Review of Alto Student Saxophone

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.
