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
Which instrument is right for me?
Nuvo Instrumental offers a range of single reed instruments which can all help to develop the skills required to transition to clarinet and saxophone playing later on. The information below will help you to identify the best starting point for yourself or your young musician, and are all compatible with stages of the WindStars tuition series. The instruments blend very well together, so in time you may find yourself building a Nuvo ensemble at home!

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.

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.

Designed mainly for educational settings, and getting instruments into cash-strapped junior classrooms, the jSax is just one of a growing selection of plastic marvels created by the innovative company Nuvo. In fact I only found out about the jSax after first discovering the DooD.
Lots of online comments talk about buying one of these first, then purchasing a proper sax later on, once you’ve learned basic fingering. I did it the other way around! I already have a very lovely Yamaha alto waiting to be played, but find I’m prevented from practicing by the massive noise it creates (neighbour and wife objections) and the faff of getting it out then the cleaning and care. This robust little jSax can stay out without damage worries and be available to toot at far more acceptable volumes whenever the fancy takes me. That means I learn my notes, fingering, scales and embouchure far more effectively and quickly. Regular practice makes all the difference, and it’s brought me a whole load more fun while learning the sax.
Obviously this little instrument cannot compare sonically to a full saxophone, and it won’t replace my Yamaha. But even if you’re an accomplished player (unlike me yet!) a jSax would be a fantastic thing to sling into a bag and take to the beach, camping, sailing or on some other holiday. It lets you make music and have impromptu jam sessions when usually that would be impossible, and I love it for that. I’ve seen professional sax players make impressively good music with these, considering the low price and basic nature of it.
At just 45cm long, end-to-end, the jSax is capable of being played by anyone from about the age of 5 or 6 upwards I reckon. I’m 6’5″ and it works for me too. Supplied with a handy plastic carry case with strap (requires removal of the silicone bell and neck) two plastic reeds and an instruction sheet. I prefer keeping mine assembled and ready for use. I’ve added a bite pad to the top of my mouthpiece, which helps me. All parts are plastic or silicone, and the keys have a good spring action, with no sticking. Top marks, and highly recommended by me for both children and adults.
If this has been useful I’d be hugely grateful if you’d let me know by hitting the button below. Many thanks 🙂

I already have a very lovely Yamaha alto waiting to be played, but find I’m prevented from practicing by the massive noise it creates (neighbour and wife objections) and the faff of getting it out then the cleaning and care. This robust little jSax can stay out without damage worries and be available to toot at far more acceptable volumes whenever the fancy takes me. That means I learn my notes, fingering, scales and embouchure far more effectively and quickly. Regular practice makes all the difference, and it’s brought me a whole load more fun while learning the sax.
Obviously this little instrument cannot compare sonically to a full saxophone, and it won’t replace my Yamaha. But even if you’re an accomplished player (unlike me yet!) a jSax would be a fantastic thing to sling into a bag and take to the beach, camping, sailing or on some other holiday. It lets you make music and have impromptu jam sessions when usually that would be impossible, and I love it for that. I’ve seen professional sax players make impressively good music with these, considering the low price and basic nature of it.
At just 45cm long, end-to-end, the jSax is capable of being played by anyone from about the age of 5 or 6 upwards I reckon. I’m 6’5″ and it works for me too. Supplied with a handy plastic carry case with strap (requires removal of the silicone bell and neck) two plastic reeds and an instruction sheet. I prefer keeping mine assembled and ready for use. I’ve added a bite pad to the top of my mouthpiece, which helps me. All parts are plastic or silicone, and the keys have a good spring action, with no sticking. Top marks, and highly recommended by me for both children and adults.
If this has been useful I’d be hugely grateful if you’d let me know by hitting the button below. Many thanks 🙂
Designed mainly for educational settings, and getting instruments into cash-strapped junior classrooms, the jSax is just one of a growing selection of plastic marvels created by the innovative company Nuvo. In fact I only found out about the jSax after first discovering the DooD.
Lots of online comments talk about buying one of these first, then purchasing a proper sax later on, once you’ve learned basic fingering. I did it the other way around!

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!
In any case, so far sound like a goose that is being tortured but have confidence I will get the hang of it with practice. I am happy that I can reintroduce myself to sax before spending hundreds of dollars on a new or used sax. Admittedly, this will take more practice than I thought so again am glad I didn’t spend a ton of money until I know I am fully committed to purchase a real saxophone.
