[QUOTE="jonf, post: 523044, member: 7"] Jean Paul are available in Europe, as are Chateau. Jean Paul saxes are marketed at a reasonable student instrument cost, but in the UK at least, Chateau models start at a good bit more than a Yamaha Y*S280, . To my mind, that makes Chateau saxophones a poor buy when you can get a proven and readily serviced Yamaha for several hundred pounds less. John Paul and Jupiter saxes come in at a couple of hundred pounds below the cost of a Yamaha, and about half the price of the Chateau instruments, which suggests decent value. Sax.co.uk own brand saxes start at £400, Thomann even cheaper at under £300. The OP is in Hungary, and I don't know the market there, but I'd strongly suspect Jupiter and Yamaha are readily available. The nearest Chateau dealer is in Croatia, for Jean Paul I think you'd have to buy from Amazon. For sax.co.uk or Thomann, you'd be looking at a remote purchase. [/QUOTE]
