Product Description The Nuvo jSax brings the world of saxophone playing to a wider audience than ever! Young musicians can now start to play an instrument with traditional feel from an early age. The jSax has a traditional fingering system and serves to enable newcomers to develop embouchure and tuning skills which will be directly transferable to a full-size saxophone. The tone is surprisingly mellow, and therefore this instrument offers a lot of fun for both newcomers and established amateur saxophonists. Following in the tradition established with other Nuvo instruments, the jSax is pitched in C (concert pitch). This makes integration into classroom music making very easy and means that the jSax is also compatible with all WindStars music. The instrument has a fully chromatic range from middle C (C4) to G in the next octave up (G5). Due to its design and construction, the jSax requires very little maintenance and is simple to clean - warm soapy water will do the trick in next to no time! Since the pads are synthetic, there is no risk of water damage, simply allow the instrument to drip dry before returning to its case. You can take your jSax with you wherever you go, they love camping, hiking, climbing and even swimming! Manufacturer's Description The jSax outfit is supplied with two synthetic reeds, strengths 1.5 and 2 which are great for getting started. In addition to Nuvo synthetic reeds, more experienced players may prefer to use traditional cane reeds - Eb clarinet size and now soprano sax size will fit the Nuvo 2.0 mouthpiece. The standard jSax outfit includes moulded case and carry strap and is supplied as the curved instrument. Some adults may find a straight option more comfortable, in which case the "Straighten your jSax" kit consists of a straight neck and bell to transform the curved instrument. Review: Just so easy to do - All good Review: Quite a small range, and different fingering to a sax - The fingering of this instrument is not the same as a saxophone, there are a few differences, and it has more a clarinet feel with the holes instead of keys for some notes. The range is also too small, from middle C to G 12 notes higher- too small for what I needed it for. I got this as I used to play Sax and wanted something to play with, but would have to re-learn new fingering and am limited by the smaller range. I have returned it

Awful sound!
This instrument sounds terrible! Very buzzy sound, even my cat moves to the other room when I'm playing it. They call it jSax, which gives the impression that it's played like saxophone, but in reality it's a recorder masked like a sax.

Waste of money
Does not play. Last two notes of octave unplayable, also tried by woodwind teacher who was also unable to play. Requested return and still not been collected some weeks later. Very poor service / an expensive piece of plastic which has not yet been refunded.

Funciona y suena bien para lo que vale aunque las lengüetas se doblan con facilidad debiendo cambiarlas al poco tiempo. Por lo demás vale la pena

Ich habe "klarinettenartige" Instrumente nie spielen können, außer ein paar Quietschgeräuchen kam nichtes heraus, da mir wohl der "Ansatz" fehlte (was immer das sein mag). Dieses "Plastik"-Instrument konnte ich SOFORT spielen, die Töne sind im Gegensatz zu anderen "Kleinsaxophonen" korrekt gestimmt. Man brauch kein "atemkünstler" zu sein, um richtig zu spielen. Dank der beonseren Klappen kann man mühelos alle Halbtöne spielen. Die GRiffweise ist (wie deutsche Blockflöte) idiotensicher. (Keine dämlichen Barockgriffe notwendig). Der Klang ist natürlich nicht wie ein 5000 € Saxophon, aber es klingt trotzdem echt, nicht wie ein Spielzeug. Ich habe es bei vielen Aufnahmen erfolgreich eingesetzt und bis jetzt hat sich noch keiner negativ zu dem Instrument geäußert. Zahlreiche Youtube Videos belegen den realistischen Klang. Der Tonumfang ist für viele Lieder ausreichend, fast 2 Oktaven lassen sich spielen. Die oberen 3 Töne sind etwas schwieriger zu erreichen, aber von C-g geht alles mühelos (inklusive Halbtöne). Die Anschaffung lohnt sich, wer mag kann auch ein Zusatztool kaufen, was das gebogene Ansatzrohr durch ein graden ersetzt und einen graden Schalltrichter enthält. Für Erwachsene ist es so komfortabler zu spielen, obwohl ich mit der Originalform auch problemlos zurechtkomme.

El paquete llegó bien y cerrado. El sax se siente bien, solido, así como las teclas tienen un buen feeling. Esta excelente para aprender la correcta embocadura, es fácil producir sonido, solo es practicar para que suene bien, encontré más fácil tocar con la lengüeta del 2 que con la del 1 y medio que traía puesta. Pude sacar la canción de Careless whisper a pesar del rango limitado. ¡En general muy buena opción para iniciar!
