Nuvo N520JBBK jSax 2.0 in black and black, 7.3 cm*34.0 cm*13.4 cm

I bought this for my 9 year old son and he has picked it up really quickly. 6 months on and he's still using it and enjoying his lessons. My only criticism is the circular rubber parts are easily lost. The time will come where we upgrade to an alto but it's a good introduction to the sax for a fraction of the cost.

My son is very happy with the J sax and it has quite a good mellow sound. I think it will be good for him to learn on.

Arrived super quick in perfect condition. Thank you Chamberlain Music for caring about your customers.I previously had to return one directly from Amazon which had been used and returned - so disappointing and unhygienic.You saved the day and it arrived in time for Christmas. :)

Expensive last minute purchase for my husband to continue his saxophone practice on holiday. He struggled to get used to the lighter weight and feel, he got a tune from it but didn’t feel that he could make good progress.Give it another six months in the box and I’ll review it again after our next holiday.The product was of good quality, good value and came with a robust carry case and cleaning kit.

Value for money

It took about 5 seconds to put this thing together and instantly you can hear this has a real nice sax sound. It's been a long time since I played a "real sax" so I can't comment on the volume comparison, but I think it's loud enough for me. Any louder and I'd be worried about annoying the neighbors! Some notes are a little tricky to get right as you get used to the "press down but don't cover the hole" technique, but overall it's very easy to learn.I like the confidence in the product that the literature has. "No need to keep it in it's box", "Leave it out", "play it in the shower", "if it gets dirty, just wash it in soapy water". That's a refreshing change to the usual bottom covering.Only one problem. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to get the very top note. If I play it as instructed it sounds an octave lower. I'll just work around that. Talking of octaves. That is the only way I feel this instrument is limited. But again, I can work within that limit.All in all, I wanted a real human sax sound for my recordings but I didn't want to spend around £300 to get it. This fits the bill perfectly.

This is my first ever sacma.

Bought for my partner as gift he was undecided whether to learn saxophone and this was the perfect opportunity to try it out without the price tag of a conventional one excellent
