To me, Jupiter is the best option i have one the 700Q and sounds and very comfortably perfect very easy to play i love it. By opinions many people says Yamaha first but i dont trust on mark opinions. I was testing yas 280 and jupiter 500 but i feel better sound and more leveled in all registers Jupiter to me is superior sound a little more weighted but it i think have more material to make the sound a little more dark. I pay 100 euros more aprox. to get 700q thats a little better sound or for my ears sounds like that. Also have Jupiter jas 1100 that sounds amazing but is more expensive but compared vs yamaha also is better option by money its my personal opinion, sorry for my bad english.

I play cannonball because it is what my school rents out. It is nice but it squeaks like crazy and definitely drops my confidence. I want something cheap but very good and won’t squeak when I try to play songs. I am learning “believer” and my saxophone squeaks the second I start to get into high notes.

An excellent video. Very informative.
Thank you

I liked the Jupiter more than the rest to be honest. He also seemed to become more expressive when playing it which means to me that the instrument inspired him to go off.... a good sign... The Yamaha sounded more clean, refined or clarinetty which is great if that’s what you want but the Jupiter sounded raunchier which I prefer.

Im thinking to buy later a Tenor sax and i continue choosing Jupiter like the model 500q or 700q jts. On tenor sax i dont need waste much money cuz big sax sounds well no matter what you choose to the similar price, Jupiter you can save to buy a extra reeds or better mouthpiece...

I actually like the lack of engraving on student saxes, not really a fan of ornate/flashy design.

I remember 40 years ago the Yamaha clarinet was the cheapest scholar model.. our teacher had a wooden posh one and Yamaha in the 1980’s were known for their plastic, cars etc etc and our clarinets were looked down upon I guess, people would make fun.. 40 years later and my clarinet is still going strong 💪.. and it’s had a life 😂.. I’m wondering if it’ll be the same for the cheaper instruments from china ?

Of the four, my favorite would be the Jupiter.

He really makes them all sound great! 😬👍

Is the Jupiter series 700 much better than series 500?

What about yas 23 Yamaha?

how is the jupiter stock mouthpiece compared to the yamaha 4C? I'm asking cause I recently got the sax and I'm not sure if I should spend a few bucks in an upgrade or keep the one that came included

What about the Jupiter JAS 700 vs. the Yamaha 280, in terms of quality ?
