- In this video I take a look at the John Packer JP041 Alto Sax.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this sax! It appears to be a copy of a Yanagisawa and carries over a number of nice design features from them. It played better than I expected out of the box and worked great once I fixed up a couple of leaks.
This would be a great option for a student or intermediate player looking for something that will last them a while, but isn't as expensive as the name-brands.
Update: I contacted my JP rep and was able to get a replacement rod for the Eb/C key so that issue is resolved!
Great video, superb content. Saxophone videos are my thing, it's very entertaining and interesting to me. Regarding the "cheap Chinese junk" comment, it's been a while since they made saxophones that belong in that category I'd say😊 Some might still be of questionable quality of course. Anyway, I have Selmer's and Yamaha's, and 4 inexpensive Chinese horns as well, newer ones. They no doubt hold up very well compared to the expensive brands😊 They seal well, played right out of the box. They seem to be well built, they sound good, little play etc. Quality has increased the last few years.
