I don't know about their entry-level horns, but the top-of-the-line Jupiter
Parisienne grenadilla clarinets are an excellent value. They are very
inexpensive and play quite well. The adjustable thumbrests include a
separate ring to use a sax strap if you like. Their saxophones are also
exceptional for the price.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
