I wanted to ask a very serious Question. I play on a YAS-23. However I saw a Jupitor on Craigslist. I have a few questions.

1) Is it a good sax?
2) How is on Maintance?
3) How is the tone? High? Low?
4) How are is the finger action on the horn? (Pad Placement) Good? Bad?
5) Is this a Good Deal?
6) Is it better than my 23?

hi carbs, just woundering if you found out anymore about the jupiter sax, your poll indicates it is no better than your yas23, oh I see only three votes so I guess to early to say.
