The Jupiter JAS510A is one of the most teacher-recommended student alto saxophones in the world, and the natural successor to the award-winning JAS500. Built around a gold-lacquered brass body, it delivers a warm, resonant tone right out of the box. Jupiter has refined the ergonomics of the 510 series using design cues from their professional 1100 series, making this an exceptional first instrument for beginners that won’t hold back developing players. Includes a mouthpiece, ligature, and sturdy MyCase stackable ABS case.
Key Features:
1. Gold-Lacquered Brass Body & Neck — The full brass construction produces a rich, full-bodied tone with excellent projection, while the gold lacquer finish offers lasting beauty and protection against daily wear.
2. Upgraded Ergonomic Keywork — Key positions, angles, and lever heights have been optimised using insights from Jupiter’s professional 1100 series, reducing hand fatigue and making it easier for beginners to build good technique from day one.
3. High F# Auxiliary Key & Plastic Tone Boosters — The high F# key extends the instrument’s range to meet school band and exam requirements, while tone boosters enhance resonance and pad seal for more consistent, responsive playing.
4. Patented Adjustable Screw Design — Upper and lower stack adjustment screws (patented) allow for precise regulation without the need for a full workshop visit, keeping the instrument playing at its best longer and reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
