The J&S Story - How it began

Frustrated with the poor quality and inflated prices of most entry level and intermediate instruments, Nigel McGill began working directly with manufacturers to produce a quality beginners saxophone at an affordable price. By dealing directly with the manufacturers and desiging instruments using his 25 years experience as an international performer and educator, Nigel created the J&S range of saxophones which we feel are the perfect blend of quality design and realistic prices. Launched in 2011, the J&S range now includes the Concert Series alto sax for beginner players, and the exciting Artist series of Soprano, Alto and Tenor saxes for intermediate to advanced players.   Nigel has also created an exciting growing range or sax lessons in the Sax School to give players a head start on learning to be great players.

Let's get the world playing saxophone!
