Jupiter alto sax for stage use and advanced players
The Jupiter JAS1100Q is an Eb alto sax built for players who expect a lot from their instrument. The description calls it the saxophone for every stage for good reason: alongside its high-grade finish and elaborate keywork, this model is known for its own distinctive sound.
The gold-lacquered brass construction runs through the body, keywork and the “Sona Pur” neck. That neck comes with stopper, protective ring and resonance shield, matching the professional design of this Jupiter alto sax.
Keywork with extensive adjustment options
On the Jupiter JAS1100Q, control and precise setup are central. You get individually adjustable palm keys, an adjustable metal thumb hook, adjustable bumper felts and separate adjustment screws on the key linkages for D, E, F, A and B. The G# and B keys are also adjustable, as are the octave key on the body for regulating middle G and the body octave key.
That is a practical advantage in fast passages. The product information specifically states that the individually adjustable palm keys let you handle even very fast runs with ease, while the high F# key and the C#-Bb key lever add extra playing options.
Finish, pads and included case
The finish of this Jupiter saxophone suits professional use, with blue steel springs, phosphor bronze leaf springs and PISONI pads with metal resonators. The instrument also has a detachable bell and an engraved bell as a visual detail.
You receive the Jupiter JAS1100Q with mouthpiece, ligature and cap, accessories and a JUPITER JKC-AS55FU Light case. If you want to know how this model feels in your hands, you can visit Magna Music to try the saxophone and get advice from wind specialists.
