Nuvo jSax
What is the Nuvo jSax?
The Nuvo jSax brings the world of saxophone playing to a wider audience than ever! Young musicians can now start to play an instrument with traditional feel from an early age.
Like all other Nuvo instruments the jSax is pitched in C (concert pitch); which makes integration into classroom music making very easy. The instrument has a fully chromatic range from middle C (C4) to G in the next octave up (G5).
The jSax comes in a range of colours to please everyone!
How does jSax compare to the standard soprano saxophone?
The jSax has a traditional fingering system and serves to enable newcomers to develop embouchure and tuning skills which will be directly transferable to a full-size saxophone. The tone is surprisingly mellow, and therefore this instrument offers a lot of fun for both newcomers and established amateur saxophonists.
How do I clean my jSax?
Due to its design and construction, the jSax requires very little maintenance and is simple to clean – warm soapy water will do the trick in next to no time! Since the pads are synthetic, there is no risk of water damage, simply allow the instrument to drip dry before returning to its case.
Supplied with the jSax 2.0
- Nuvo training wheels/open hole key plugs

I will say it might be a challenge for a larger person- I’m only 5’3 with small hands- so it’s fine for me- but larger people might be uncomfortable with the tiny size.
You could easily throw this in a backpack- you could ride a bike with it and play in the park. Take it to the beach. Busk.
Throw it in a go bag for the post apocalyptic world….
El paquete lleg bien y cerrado. El sax se siente bien, solido, as como las teclas tienen un buen feeling. Esta excelente para aprender la correcta embocadura, es fcil producir sonido, solo es practicar para que suene bien, encontr ms fcil tocar con la lengeta del 2 que con la del 1 y medio que traa puesta. Pude sacar la cancin de Careless whisper a pesar del rango limitado. En general muy buena opcin para iniciar!
Al mio ragazzo piaciuto tanto…. Ai vicini un po’ meno…. Ottimo strumento per imparare le basi
My son loves it.
Perfect size for him before transitioning to the real deal.
Feels great and looks durable.
Really happy with this.
Ich habe “klarinettenartige” Instrumente nie spielen knnen, auer ein paar Quietschgeruchen kam nichtes heraus, da mir wohl der “Ansatz” fehlte (was immer das sein mag). Dieses “Plastik”-Instrument konnte ich SOFORT spielen, die Tne sind im Gegensatz zu anderen “Kleinsaxophonen” korrekt gestimmt. Man brauch kein “atemknstler” zu sein, um richtig zu spielen. Dank der beonseren Klappen kann man mhelos alle Halbtne spielen. Die GRiffweise ist (wie deutsche Blockflte) idiotensicher. (Keine dmlichen Barockgriffe notwendig). Der Klang ist natrlich nicht wie ein 5000 Saxophon, aber es klingt trotzdem echt, nicht wie ein Spielzeug. Ich habe es bei vielen Aufnahmen erfolgreich eingesetzt und bis jetzt hat sich noch keiner negativ zu dem Instrument geuert. Zahlreiche Youtube Videos belegen den realistischen Klang. Der Tonumfang ist fr viele Lieder ausreichend, fast 2 Oktaven lassen sich spielen. Die oberen 3 Tne sind etwas schwieriger zu erreichen, aber von C-g geht alles mhelos (inklusive Halbtne). Die Anschaffung lohnt sich, wer mag kann auch ein Zusatztool kaufen, was das gebogene Ansatzrohr durch ein graden ersetzt und einen graden Schalltrichter enthlt. Fr Erwachsene ist es so komfortabler zu spielen, obwohl ich mit der Originalform auch problemlos zurechtkomme.
I like the confidence in the product that the literature has. “No need to keep it in it’s box”, “Leave it out”, “play it in the shower”, “if it gets dirty, just wash it in soapy water”. That’s a refreshing change to the usual bottom covering.
Only one problem. Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t seem to get the very top note. If I play it as instructed it sounds an octave lower. I’ll just work around that. Talking of octaves. That is the only way I feel this instrument is limited. But again, I can work within that limit.
All in all, I wanted a real human sax sound for my recordings but I didn’t want to spend around 300 to get it. This fits the bill perfectly.
Suena bien, pero no tiene las mismas notas que un saxofn as que no puedo tocar cualquier cancin. til para empezar a toca
This is such a good idea for younger children to learn the saxophone
Un ottima soluzione economica per capire se il sax lo strumento che fa per te. Bene per cominciare a familiarizzare. consigliato per i bambini, ma io sono un neofita e volevo provare senza svenarmi. Volume sorprendentemente alto, valgono le stesse regole di buon vicinato di una sax classico.
Great product, bought as a lockdown hobby. If you watch YouTube videos it shows how to play. Only downside is its harder to play than it appears on the videos.
Mi piace il suono che produce, pur essendo uno strumento didattico e non destinato ad un uso professionale. Ha un volume abbastanza alto, anche se il suono poco corposo. La diteggiatura intuitiva e l’apprendimento quasi istintivo. La nota pi acuta a volte difficile da far suonare correttamente senza emettere fischi anomali. Per il resto un gran bel prodotto!
