NuvoNuvo jSax - Black/Blue

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.

Sounds just like a real sax high quality worth the money.

Played sax as a kid 50 years ago, as I recall was pretty good. Rec'd the jsax a day before it was promised and in good condition. I got the jsax 2.0 but got a version without the o ring grease. I am guessing that Nuvo originally sent the jsax without the grease and now provide because it is needed. I will say that I emailed Nuvo's North American contact asking what grease I should use and got a response the same night well after office hours...very impressed.In any case, so far sound like a goose that is being tortured but have confidence I will get the hang of it with practice. I am happy that I can reintroduce myself to sax before spending hundreds of dollars on a new or used sax. Admittedly, this will take more practice than I thought so again am glad I didn't spend a ton of money until I know I am fully committed to purchase a real saxophone.

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 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.

Perfect for beginners like myself and great practice travel saxophone & 🎷 also just for all around fun you 100% wanna spend a little more for the additional conversation pieces that makes it kinda like a clarinet.

This is the most fun you can have for 88 dollars....and it’s the loudest fun you can have without amplification. Easy to hold- carry- play. Absolute joy. I was on the fence- I bought a Dood- I wish I had bought the jsax from the beginning. The Dood is fine- it just isn’t the jsax.I will say it might be a challenge for a larger person- I’m only 5’3 with small hands- so it’s fine for me- but larger people might be uncomfortable with the tiny size.You could easily throw this in a backpack- you could ride a bike with it and play in the park. Take it to the beach. Busk.Throw it in a go bag for the post apocalyptic world....
