Comments about Jean Baptiste J65BLKII Soprano Saxophone (Gun Metal Black):

this is a advanced player saxophone because the gun black metal would be hard to play with. The sound is hard to produce because of the material. It is a very unique instrument but i agree with the other musician that this instrument goes horribly sharp and other wise this is a wonderful instrument to have. I will buy this instrument for my son for Christmas that's how good it is

Comments about Jean Baptiste J65BLKII Soprano Saxophone (Gun Metal Black):

I bought this instrument and received it two weeks ago and I can't put it down! I love this Soprano Sax!! The finish is beautiful, even more so than the picture online. I have had many compliments on its looks. The quality is excellent for an instrument in this price range!!! I feel it has a very warm and rich tone. I was persuaded by a professional saxophonist not to by any instruments in this price range, but I couldn't afford the type of instruments he was suggesting. I would recommend this instrument to anyone wanting a quality instrument at a great price. I don't feel it's just a beginner's instrument either, and has a professional quality just as much as the higher priced saxes I have looked at!!!

Comments about Jean Baptiste J65BLKII Soprano Saxophone (Gun Metal Black):

I've had 8 years experience on Alto and decided to get a soprano for fun. This horn was a good little horn until I played a friends Selmer.The keys on the Baptiste are sloppy and at different heights and the intonation goes horribly sharp in the higher ranges. Basically this is definitely a beginner's horn but one with a very reasonable price tag. Overall though it isn't worth spending the money for the horn because after you get comfortable playing you'll want to replace it soon. I recommend saving the extra $[...] and getting a horn that will last.
