Nuvo N520JBPK jSax 2.0, Black/Pink, 7.3 cm*34.0 cm*13.4 cm
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
- Two Nuvo synthetic reeds
- jSax fingering chart
- O-ring grease
- Moulded carry case

The included 1.5 reed made it easier for a beginner like me to start making clear sound (most notes). I will most certainly graduate to a real saxophone, but this is a really satisfying way to get exposure.
It’s loud as it played the sound of jazz. Reed #1.5 was unable to play G5 (maybe due to a defect but N165MPGN fixed the problem) ; Reed #2 plays C4 to G5 okay
Sono molto entusiasta del mio acquisto del NUVO JSAX! Questo strumento perfetto per chi vuole imparare a suonare il sassofono in modo divertente e facile. Lo abbiamo acquistato per il terzo compleanno di mio figlio che un grande appassionato di sax.
Dopo svariati sax di plastica, questo strumento stato un regalo perfetto per lui, poich facile da maneggiare e gli ha permesso di iniziare a suonare il sassofono fin da subito.
Inizialmente sembra impossibile riuscire a far emettere un suono, ma con un po’ di praticit mio figlio si sentito proprio come il suo idolo Jimmy Sax!
A distanza di tempo lo suona ancora, e pi cresce pi esplora questo mondo, scoprendo suoni sempre nuovi!
La cosa che mi ha colpito di pi la sua leggerezza e portabilit. Grazie al suo design innovativo e compatto, posso portarlo ovunque con me senza problemi e senza dovermi preoccupare di danneggiarlo.
Inoltre, la qualit del suono eccezionale! Non mi aspettavo che un sassofono cos piccolo potesse produrre un suono cos grande e potente.
AAA+++ great goods great price easy transaction speedy delivery: 10 years ago I was diagnosed with COPD, not much i can do about it but keep breathing, a specialist nurse from the hospital gave me some breathing exercises and I do them everyday…but recently I felt i needed to do more, I’ve been a musician for most of my adult life – a drummer, but that my keep me fit but it doesn’t improve my breathing. I have many sax playing friends so I thought i’d get something like a sax, that would stretch my breathing -then i saw the jSax, so I ordered one -it’s been fantastic, i’m not trying to play tones just long tones, playing through scales…that’s enough for me, I bought the additional mouth piece and straight bell and a pull through and a book…everything is helping just fine – if I can find this easy anyone can -for whatever reason give it a go – recommended
I have a regular sax, but this is nice to just have laying around and not worrying about it getting too cold or hot or wet etc.
PRO:
– Costa 95, nemmeno la met di un sassofono in ottone
– Ha “posizioni” da fare con le dita per fare note circa come quelle di un sax
– E’ facilmente trasportabile e leggero
– Ha una ancia di plastica, duratura e che effettivamente risulta molto utile per imparare ad emettere suoni con lo strumento
CONTRO:
– E’ di plastica, non sbrilluccica quanto l’ottone di un vero sax
– Per alcune dita un po’ scomodo, si vede che stato progettato per mani piccole
– Ha un range piuttosto corto, il che significa che si possono suonare brani solo relativamente facili
– E’ intonato in Do come un flauto, il che significa che non potete usare libri d’apprendimento per sax dato che i sax sono intonati in Mi bemolle, dovrete trasporre ogni spartito per sax a flauto
Io personalmente che gi possiede un sax “classico” d’ottone cercavo qualcosa che possibilmente avesse un volume basso per suonarlo anche di sera, mi sono sbagliato: pu essere comodo per imparare le basi di uno strumento ad ancia o se siete gi molto bravi beh, pu tornarvi utile per portarvi un sax in spiaggia la sera davanti a un fal. Come i sax ha necessariamente un suono molto forte e che richiede grossa concentrazione ed energie per essere suonato.
What a great little Sax. Feels like good quality build and comes in a nice, portable, hard case. Great value for money.

La verdad es que se hace sonar fcil, pero me ha resultado un poco corto de escala.
Hay que alabar el transporte y la funda del instrumento, que estn bastante bien pensados. No deja de ser un instrumento de plstico (y no termina de sonar como un instrumento real), pero parece muy robusto. La campana de goma no es que haga mucho, parece ms de adorno que funcional. Su sonido me recuerda mucho al Dood de esta misma marca, que es ms pequeo y sencillo, sin necesidad de montaje alguno. An as, lo recomendara para gente que, como yo, no se atreve con un saxofn “de verdad” y busca una manera de dar un toque “orgnico” a las grabaciones o los ensayos.
…doch wenn das normal sein soll, dass das Saxophon; sei es dass es so ein Plastikteil oder aus Messing ist, wenn das hinein pusten solche Vibration auf den Lippen hinterlsst, war das der Anfang vom Ende; fr mich, das geht garnicht. Wenn das welche spielen knnen, sag ich nur Woww, ich halt’ das nicht aus
llego faltandole un pequeo tapn en una de las teclas.. fuera de eso todo bien aunque probablemente lo devolver solo por dicho detalle ya que no los venden por aparte

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.
