jSax

My 8 year wanted this for Christmas. Is in reasonable price so we did . He never play sax before but he very musical incline after a week he able to play one song already. Simple but sounds good

Came brand new in box perfect condition. Fun to play.

I bought this for my son’s 4th birthday. I play clarinet and had already gotten him the DooD that he’s been really great with. When I came home with a sax he wanted one too. I was really surprised at the resistance of playing these instruments. I play “real” ones and was “struggling” a bit, especially with this jsax. The notes would squeak if they came out at all. I ended up switching the reed it came with for the one that came with the DooD (they’re the same) and it was a noticeable improvement but still not “right”, especially with the lower notes. Out of annoyance I threw one of my wooden clarinet reeds in it and was delighted that it fit. It was also so. much. easier to play - with my 3.5 reed! I ordered a few 2.0 clarinet reeds for my son to use, and I recommend that right off the bat when you purchase this. The clarinet reed is longer and thicker so it is harder to get out, and should not be left in the instrument. I’d recommend that anyway, as well as a thorough swabbing after each use. I don’t care what the manufacturer says about that. Spit gets in there, clean it! So far as sound goes, definitely more recorder like than sax like, but it’s a great introduction for small children. Perfect size for them to explore and learn.

We have a saxophone but my son is still not ready to take care of the cool instrument by himself. I wanted him to have an instrument that is easy to care and functions a little more than recorders. He loves it! I find it a little to light and awkward to play as an adult but I love the sound. I hope he can enjoy playing until he starts playing the real saxophone.

I rolled the dice on this one. If I felt it played reliably, then I'd feel like it was worth the money. I can play notes, but it fails when I get town to the lower keys. I thought I might resolve any issues with my playing or the instrument itself. As a point of reference, I can play a regular sax. I still haven't figured out the problem with this instrument and I missed the return window. If you want to purchase this for an older child that can handle a regular sax, buy the regular sax!!! Otherwise, I've spent $105 and some change after tax and can't enjoy it. Maybe you'll have better luck, or maybe you won't.

When I saw this product for the first time, I was very excited to purchase, as I have been a musician for many years, and have owned many pro level saxophones. With this being said, I went into this purchase, knowing that this is advertised as a beginner level type of instrument. I watched some of the videos, and I thought it sounded good enough and looked fun enough to buy. The look of the saxophone is decent and the action on the keys is not bad. It comes with two synthetic reeds, which are nice and a mouthpiece cover and everything that is advertised. So if you've ever played saxophone before, this particular instrument plays more like a plastic flute recorder. Having said that, as a saxophonist, I would not recommend anyone buying this instrument if you are learning to play the saxophone as it does not have all of the fingerings, and it lacks a true upper register key. Please forgive me if it sounds like I am raining on the parade of this particular product, but in all fairness, it would be easier for a beginner to purchase a used or student level saxophone and start with it, than to try to learn on this particular thing, and then move over to a real sax that's going to be even more foreign . I'm going to continue to mess around with the instrument and I will provide an update in the future. So far I consider this to be nothing more than a novelty.

It’s an actual saxophone with a reed and air and saxophone fingering. Not electric. Works like a real sax. Great for learning and eventually graduating to brass. I love playing it, my wife and neighbors… not so much.

I really wanted to love this. I used to play and thought this could be a fun way to get back into it. But getting a decent sound out of this was so hard, and the sound I did get was not great. It just doesn’t seem very playable. It’s such a shame.

If you really really need a reed instrument then it's a good place to start but might be just as well starting on a recorder then moving to a sax when the child is big enough to hold one.

Yo no soy músico y justo es mi segundo instrumento, pero aún así me atrevo a valorarlo. Antes de este he comprado otro en Aliexpress (tiene forma de flauta, con un sonido muy parecido al saxofón), pero me ha resultado muy difícil hacerlo sonar, quizás un día lo retome, pero este JSAX 2.0 la verdad es que me ha sorprendido gratamente. Según me ha dicho una amiga que si es saxofonista, tiene el sonido de un saxo alto. Yo lo he podido hacer sonar con muy poco esfuerzo y aquí van mis PROS: 1- Facilidad de manejo, se puede hacer sonar con muy poco esfuerzo y si te pones frente a un espejo (como hice yo) puedes ir acoplando la forma en que soplas para lograr el sonido que deseas con comodidad. 2- Tamaño y transporte de lujo, si quieres llevarlo a donde sea es muy fácil hacerlo, ocupa muy poco espacio y el montaje es sin dudas lo más rápido que haces. 3- Limpieza del instrumento súper cómoda, no me imagino metiendo un saxofón de latón bajo un chorro de agua, pues con este si que lo puedes hacer y es muy recomendado ya que si de generar saliva se trata, estos instrumentos se llevan las palmas y es poco higiénico no lavarlo después de un buen rato molestando a los vecinos con tus notas musicales. 4- Precisamente LAS NOTAS musicales; al no tener ninguna idea de música (el mismo día que compré mi JSAX 2.0 descargué un curso de solfeo y lectura de música para al menos imaginarme a que me enfrentaría), descargué también una aplicación de IOS (n-Track Tuner) y que sorpresa la mía que me fue reconociendo cada una de las notas que intente soplar, incluso, según cómo fuera colocando mi boca llegué a notas sostenidas y bemoles desde la misma a nota (cabe aclarar que también puedes llegar a las mismas jugando con las llaves). Pienso, y quizás un día pueda hacerlo, que se pueden obtener más notas de las que se dice en el manual que se obtienen, todo está en jugar con la posición de la boca según lo que desees hacer. 5- Y por último (que es el motivo por el que más lo he comprado) NO necesitas hacer una inversión descomunalmente innecesaria si: sólo quieres un instrumento que suene y sea un saxofón, no te dedicas profesionalmente a ser músico, no quieres estar cargando con kilos de latón para donde quiera que vayas, no quieres estar limpiando y pagando para mantener afinado tu instrumento. En resumen, para ti que lo que quieres es aprender tocar el saxofón, divertirte con amigos y acompañar una que otra canción en tenderetes, relajarte en la playa haciéndolo sonar o practicando tus futuras clavadas de momentos musicales, yo te lo recomiendo sin pensarlo, ahora si profesionalmente eres músico y necesita un saxofón, también te digo que ya habrás tenido tiempo de habértelo comprado y sino, pues echa mano de tu talento y juega con tu boca para usar el JSAX 2.0, te aseguro que serás la envidia de algunos y la admiración de otros, en cualquier caso, no dejarás indiferente a nadie.

Mancano le note intermedie, il SI basso per me sarebbe importante averlo, oltre il SOL in alto non riesco ad andare. Detto questo, suona bene ed é ottimo come gioco per suonicchiare e per imparare.

Todo bien como lo esperaba ya son varios instrumentos que pido y los uso para motivar a principiantes para que busquen tocar instrumentos en niveles de excelencia.

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
