Review

Having recently reviewed this instrument in a video comparing various other student saxes I was reminded of the attention to detail of Jupiter’s engineering.  The build quality is excellent and before even playing a note you feel a sense of solidity when testing the key action.  I love the ergonomic shaping – every detail has been thought through, right the way down to the adjustable palm keys, which is a nice touch at this level of sax.

Tonally-wise the sound is strong and bright with plenty of fizz when pushed.  This projection factor will help players stand out in a school or concert band setting, and equally importantly, the intonation is well measured throughout the range.

A great all-round student sax! – Jim Cheek – SAX
