Have any of you ever heard of the brand Jeane Baptiste? Some people think it`s just some of the Band Now and other crap sold on E-bay. Actually I got a pro model tenor from Sam Ashe (if anyone lives in the Indianapolis IN they would know where that is.) Anyways I thought I would share that with anyone looking into buying a new sax and is on a tight budget.Ohyeah my pro sax only cost like $900 so it`s a pretty good choice for a pro sax (even if no one`s heard of the brand).So far I haven`t had to take it in for repairs. If anyone else has an instrument of this brand,I`d like to get some feedback as to whether it`s a good brand or not! Sorry this is so long!

no I havn`t, do they have a website or anything?

Read my reply to Anyone ever heard of Jean Baptiste.

I recently purchased a jean baptiste 900TS tenor sax. It is make by Amati in Czechoslavakia, a company that has been making lesser expensive but quality instruments since 1932. They make the name strictly for Sam Ash. My sax teacher is a top professional player and he said it was an excellent horn for the money. Sam Ash has been around for some 80 years and will back it 100%. I have even spoken to Paul Ash about that (who by the way will answer all your phone calls). I hope this helps. There, I made it easy for you.
