The ideal beginner sax

John Packer specialise in the student instrument, always producing a great start for the beginner at an affordable price.

The JP043 Bb soprano saxophone is a straight bodied saxophone that is ideal for both learners or existing players looking for a second instrument.

A great introduction

This saxophone is designed to take the player through the lower grades, provide an introduction into saxophone playing and allows players to explore the soprano sax solo, band and sax choir repertoire.

Two crooks, one curved and one straight offer a choice of angle to increase comfort. An underslung octave mechanism also improves instrument reliability whilst blue steel springs are rust resistant with better tension memory.

Italian leather pads create a great seal that translates into a fuller sound that is more responsive which lasts longer than conventional pads. Resonator pads also improves projection and gives the tone more depth.

The instrument also features front F, high F# and high G keys and a floating plate design for the little finger (left hand) cluster, this aids faster movement once players have become more proficient. An adjustable thumb rest allows a more natural and comfortable hand position to be achieved. A sling ring also provides the opportunity to make the instrument even lighter with the use of the provided sling.

The appearance of the JP043 has been enhanced with engraving, abalone pearls and a range of modern finishes.

What's in the Box?

The JP043 is supplied in a backpack case that can also facilitate a provided shoulder strap for ease of transportation. The case is pocketed which is suitable for storing small accessories and comes with a Bari Esprit mouthpiece, cap, ligature and a basic sling.
