I'm a retired head of music RNCM graduate, ex army staff band French horn player who joined my local section 3 ( winning!) brass band recently by invite on e flat bass, ( Imagine that transition !) Having bought a second hand jp 4 valve bass this year I had no qualms about getting a jp euphonium. It is good to play, very well in tune top g not sharp 4th line d not flat, lovely tone responsive in all registers. I can get a 4 octave chromatic range relatively easily. Whereas budget French horns are invariably awful, this euphonium is close to its £8000 counterparts for a fraction of the price. Top line players might not like my comments but in my opinion grade 8+ players and music students would be more than happy with this instrument it won't hold you back at all. Full marks JP and customer service exemplary.
A beautiful tenor horn. The quality is wonderful and it sounds so much nicer than the previous horn. The level of customer service we received from JP was superb. Our daughter is extremely happy.
Fantastic gig bag, which both fits perfectly and protects myinstrument. Delighted.
A wonderfully free blowing reed which really enhances my playing. My intonation is so much better with this reed, it’s so wonderful that I’ve found the right one for me!! Speedy delivery too, all neatly wrapped up. Thank you so much!!
Having tried virtually every other lube, I've found this the best. "Goes off" quite quickly but I find that a daily application with a weekly clean keeps the slide super slick.
Very easy to hire. Clear instructions. Initial problem solved quickly and easily by very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely instrument for beginner bassoonist. Came with everything needed to play straight away. Only issue was I didn't realise that the 1st month hire charge had to be paid alongside the upfront charge.
Great service. Quick and easy to order and delivery was swift. Fab service.
It fits perfectly, exactly what I needed. Great price too.
Great service with post and packaging. The hand support is a little tricky trying to get the plastic sleeves over the bell section brace, also with these being hard plastic, they allow the whole thing to move so you really need to tighten the screws. These sleeves should have been made out of a dry rubber material which would not move, unlike the plastic one's.
Fast delivery and a sensible price for this beginner's horn. Very happy.
Very good product, neat,easy to use and fits in flute and piccolo case
Great service quick and easy order process and express delivery at a reasonable price.
The instrument is in perfect shape, the shipping was timely and customer service friendly and responsive
This reed has changed my oboe playing life! The reed sounds and behaves like cane, but is so stable in its tuning and is impervious to changes in humidity. I soak it in water for thirty seconds before I start my practice or a rehearsal and that’s for the rest of the session. After I’d played it in from new (a couple of hours) I scraped it just a little to get it exactly how I wanted it and I haven’t had to touch it since. It plays brilliantly from bottom B flat to altissimo A flat, and has great dynamic range.! Wow Icant stop grinning. 😀
Brilliant. Im disabled and this was a gift for someone else so i couldnt visit the shop
It arrived in good time abd securely packaged
Great there is a video online of how this instrument plays
Good value replacement case that was bought for a Sovereign cornet. Contains space for a single mouthpiece and room for a couple of mutes. The music pouch is useful. The construction is sturdy, without the case being too heavy. Fingers crossed the zip fastener will prove to be reliable in the long term. It looks to be of a decent quality at first glance.
3.5 really. Very free blowing. Excellent in the middle of the range but less reliable at the extremes.
Great oil perfect for trumpet slide
Lovely cornet. Looks great and sounds great, I have one very happy son.
Am very pleased with the clarinets reeds size 2. Thank you.
