Cut to the chase: I like it!

I'm a semi-pro saxophonist with over 60 years experience. I practice daily, I play in several rehearsing/performing ensembles—both jazz and “legit”--and I have a standing weekly jazz gig, as well as several paying jazz jobs per month.

I needed a back-up instrument because my beloved Mk6 (my only working horn) had to go to the repair tech for over a week.

I had watched Dr Wally's YT reviews, and after calling JP and pleading with them to make sure my purchase would be ready to go out of the box, they sent me their AS860 Anniversary Edition in just two days. The anxiety of buying a horn sight-unseen was somewhat mitigated by JP's provided video of the play test of my actual item, as well as by Dr Wally's endorsement.

So how does it play and sound? The JP's sonic and ergonomic properties seem similar to the YAS 62's I have tried over the years—i.e., excellent intonation and smooth keywork, utter ease of low and high note production, and apparent robustness of construction. Like the Japanese brands however, it lacks the diffuse, breathy, multi-overtone, Desmond-like timbre of my Mk 6. Nevertheless, the JP acquitted itself nicely on my weekly jazz gig, and I doubt anyone but me heard the subtleties of tone I felt were missing. (Surprisingly the best results for a darker sound came from using the supplied mouthpiece, rather than any of my high-end MP's! Unheard of!)

As a back-up horn for a picky performer, I couldn't possibility ask for more at this price point. Moreover, I have decided to use the JP exclusively for my concert band work (with my S80 C* MP), as The 860 sound is more in line with the tone color, projection, and intonation of my band-mates Yanis and Yamas.

Good work, JeanPaul!

I ordered the pro saxophone. The saxophone plays well, but it came with visible scratches on the side D key above the staff, a rust spot and a little dent at the bottom of the saxophone and the Rico ligature was missing. I had to call to have them send my Rico ligature that supposed to come with my order.

AS-860 Purchase

I purchased this 2 weeks ago. If there's anyone out there looking for a saxophone that isn't a student model and don't wanna spend a small fortune for an instrument, this is the one you're gonna want to buy. This is an absolutely gorgeous horn. When I open the case to practice, I get genuinely excited to play. In top of the wonderful looks, it sounds amazing. I couldn't ask for more from this purchase. Along with the play test video and super great customer support, Jean Paul has my business. Thanks
