Description
The Nuvo jSax is the ideal instrument for children or adults wanting to take their first steps into woodwind playing and, in particular, the saxophone.
The jSax, though simplified, remains loyal to its woodwind counterpart. It retains a traditional fingering system, which means that players can easily transfer their skills to a full-size instrument when the time is right. However, as with most of the other Nuvo instruments, it is pitched in C, making it easier to fit in with classroom or ensemble playing. It has a fully chromatic range from middle C to G an octave and a half higher.
This instrument comes as a complete outfit with two synthetic reeds (one each of strength 1.5 and 2), moulded case and carry strap. The reeds provided are designed for the beginner although further plastic reeds can be purchased in different strengths. Or, if preferred, the jSax is also compatible with traditional Eb cane reeds.
Like other Nuvo products, the jSax is completely waterproof, and so can simply be cleaned with soap and warm water, eliminating the need for expensive cleaning materials. Since the pads themselves are synthetic, there is no risk of water damage – simply drip dry before returning to the case.
With an authentic mellow tone, the jSax is a robust, easy-to-use introduction to woodwind playing. Thanks to Nuvo’s reinvention of woodwind instruments as we know them, there has never been an easier time to learn
