The JP042 Bb tenor saxophone is ideal for beginners or for those wanting to source their own instruments at an affordable price. This saxophone is designed to take the player through the lower grades and provide an introduction to saxophone playing.    

Suitable For:

For the student looking for an instrument to introduce them to the saxophone, the John Packer JP042 Bb Tenor Saxophone is an affordable, ideal choice. It has been specifically designed to aid the beginner in studying and working through the lower-grade exams.

Unique Benefits:

• There are many features on the JP042 that are present on more professional models, a fully ribbed construction and double spine on B & C keys provide additional strength. 
• An underslung octave mechanism also improves instrument reliability whilst blue steel springs are rust-resistant with better tension memory. 
• Italian leather pads create a great seal that translates into a fuller sound that is more responsive and lasts longer than conventional pads. 
• Resonator pads also improve projection and give the tone more depth. The instrument also features High F# and Front F keys and a floating plate design for the little finger (left hand) cluster, which aids faster movement once players have become more proficient. 
• An adjustable thumb rest allows a more natural and comfortable hand position to be achieved. A sling ring also provides the opportunity to make the instrument even lighter with the use of the provided sling or harness.  
• The appearance of the JP042 has been enhanced with engraving, abalone pearls, and a range of modern finishes.
