Welcome to the Café.
Jupiter CES 760 or JAS 769 would be my choice.

Hey, welcome. I work (engineering, in a university) with several nice Iranians, especially one really great Iranian guy. I enjoy hearing his stories - he's a funny bloke, as well as skilled. If you would like to share a bit about the Iranian music scene, I would be very interested to hear - especially at the moment (I am in the UK) such voices are not so audible. All the best.

Welcome.
Someone will be along with knowledge of those horns. But, so long as the instrument is in good order you'll be fine.
You might, eventually, have more challenges on the reed/mouthpiece front to achieve the feel and tuning you need for that style of music.

Jupiter are very good. They are easy to live with and like Yamahas have the stack adjusting screws.

I am no specialist on this subject but I thought that they came from the same factory.

Both are excellent models. There is no 'wrong choice'.

I have serviced and sold at least fifty of each. Both are favorites of mine.

The main difference is, the Buffet has a smoother tone, less bright. Tge Jupiter is a little brighter, more 'reedy' sounding...like most contemporary saxes.

Either would work fine for the music you wish to play.

Blessings to you in Iran.

The OP seems to have driven by...

... But I had a discussion with my flute teacher, yesterday, and he said he'd consider trying to get a saxophonist colleague he sometimes works with, to do a tutorial for this....
... Eventually. Don't hold your breath!

Tutorial of Arab/Turkish/Iranian music ? That'd be cool

Tutorial of Arab/Turkish/Iranian music ? That'd be cool

My teacher runs a website with tutorial written for Nay and a pile of arrangements, each of which includes demos, solfège and idiomatic rhythm recordings; as well as teaching online. Unfortunately it's almost impenetrable with out reading Arabic. He'll do an English and/or German version, hopefully, this year. I mainly have online tutorials...
... All Maqam Arabic/Turkish... The Iranians think they use a different system; dastgah.. It's history

The core extra issue with the sax (clarinet) is having facility with half-flats. I know some people have special fingering, maybe some bending etc. you don't really need full 24tet or such; but some.
So, my suggestion, was that he finds a sax colleague to do a method/tutorial, with some "stepping stone" tutorial to show how to use the existing material.
He was thinking of doing specific transposition - but I advised against that. I reckon a player taking this on should just work from the original page.
