The Academy Model AS-660 is Jean Paul's collaboration with Dr. Wally Wallace of The Saxophone Academy, and this B-Stock version plays identically to the full-price instrument. The only difference is a cosmetic imperfection that caught our inspectors' eyes -- a lacquer blemish, a minor scratch, or some other visual detail that has no bearing on sound or playability.

The AS-660 Academy Model was designed with input from a dedicated saxophone educator, so the ergonomics, keywork, and intonation are all tuned to support advancing players. It's an intermediate horn that genuinely prepares students for a professional instrument. Getting it at a B-Stock price means you're investing in a serious saxophone at a more approachable cost.
