Advanced Performance Series design

Jupiter lavishes Performance Series instruments with fanatical attention to detail to produce horns that punch well above their price point in terms of sound, performance, and overall craftsmanship. The JSS1100SG’s key-layout ergonomics ensure ease of reach, while the light, fast, and responsive action is powered by blue steel needle springs — the professional standard for durable, perfectly tensioned keywork. The tilting G#-Bb table keys enable comfortable fingering and added agility for advanced players. Featuring a full range to high G, the JSS1100SG works seamlessly as a system, its state-of-the-art keywork guaranteeing consistent, stable seating of the high-quality pads. The JSS1100SG also features metal resonator tone boosters that work in tandem with the pads to provide a leak-free, airtight seal while delivering a big, commanding tone that brings your notes to life. With the JSS1100SG, your playing will exude confidence on the concert stage as the instrument’s gorgeous, sumptuous finish gleams in the spotlight.

Customizable to your personal playing style

Saxophones designed for the up-and-coming player should provide a smooth transition from student models. They should also introduce professional features that enhance the myriad of playing techniques, from embouchure and wind control to fingering, that collectively produce the unique sound you are developing. As exceptional as it is accessible, the Jupiter JSS1100SG is an ideal instrument for advancing soprano players, providing a primed canvas for forging your signature sound. To that end, Jupiter has made the JSS1100SG highly adaptable so that it fits you like a glove. The keys fall right under your fingers, ready to instantly convey every nuance of musical expression in your playing. Saxophonists who play both jazz and classical can choose an appropriate mouthpiece and reed to further optimize their horn for the music at hand. However you set it up, the Jupiter JSS1100SG is an impeccably designed and crafted instrument that sounds great, is easy to play, and continuously evolves along with you on your musical journey. Further increasing the incredible value of this outstanding horn is the inclusion of both straight and curved necks.

Straight and curved necks included

In their wisdom, Jupiter has included straight and curved Sona-Pure necks with the JSS1100SG. Why two necks? If you’re an advancing alto or tenor player, acclimating yourself to your first soprano sax is an interesting experience. Although the fingering is the same, the soprano’s form factor dictates a different approach to holding it as you play. While straight soprano necks are more popular than curved ones, there are advantages to each. Straight necks offer less blowing resistance than curved necks; while a curved neck may require more wind effort, some players will find the ergonomics more comfortable, as it positions the horn at a lower angle relative to your torso, making it less tiresome to support the horn. Obviously, this a highly personal decision — one you needn’t make with the Jupiter JSS1100SG. You’ll have the luxury of time to experiment with the included straight and curved necks to figure out what’s right for you.
