What they say
The Jupiter JAS1100 alto saxophone is the ideal progression sax, perfect for committed students or practising professionals It features high-end materials like blue steel needle springs and phosphor bronze leaf springs which provide next-level key response. You will definitely notice as your performance takes a huge leap forward.
The JAS1100 is a very robust instrument with a balance and build quality that stands up to its rivals. It is a very free blowing horn, lending itself to an open sound which, unlike that of its predecessors, isn't overly focused. The intonation is very accurate which makes life a lot easier when working your way around the sax. This model also features adjustable palm keys which is a nice touch as everyone has different sized hands. Another defining feature of this sax is the Sona-Pure neck which has been crafted using special artisan tooling and annealing processes which create a distinctive, vintage tonal quality. All this and it looks good too with an exquisite engraving on the bell.
