Jazzlab SAXDEFLECTOR Saxophone Deflector

I am impressed with this reflector. I had a different one that kept breaking on my. I had the clip replaced and shipped to me and it broke. I glued it and it broke again. I finally gave up and ordered this product. It is very solid and will allow me to place the sax on the stand with the deflector still attached to the bell of the instrument. I can't say enough about how solid this deflector is. I use it to practice in my sound proof studio practice room and also on gigs when I am not "miked" and/or the band is a bit loud. It keeps me from overblowing.

Works perfectly

When it first arrived, I set it up and tried it in my practice room. The effect was very minimal. I tried it at a rehearsal and the effect all but disappeared. Back at my room, I tried taping a larger piece of plastic to the reflector and it worked!!! Of course, I was a hazard to everyone and everything around me within striking range! I had one more idea…I taped a piece of plastic over the hole and it doubled the effect. The device is now usable although weak. I would however note that the device has a weak point…the tab on the plastic reflector that fits into the clamp will break off eventually (or sooner) and then you will have to pay out the extremely high price for a new unit since the reflector is not replaceable. The clamp is very well designed but not worth the over fifty dollar price tag.

Does what it’s intended to do. It’s like playing against the wall. I don’t here the echo and now I know what other people are hearing. Very pleased with this item. Easy to latch on to the sax. Very pleased.

I've purchased them all and this sound deflector is the best of them all. The mechanism that connects the deflector to your horn is well made and allows you to adjust the sound deflecting shield perfectly. Also, allows for a very secure connection to the horn. One thing to keep in mind, the deflator is made of a brittle plastic so one needs to be careful not to drop it or bang it as the connection point is a small tab of plastic. Works great though.

The price of this product is way out of portion for what you get. A clip and a flimsy piece of plastic should not cost $50.00 USD. I seriously regret the purchase. Save your money and play in front of a wall for the same effect, if not better.

This deflector its amazing, with it you can ear your self clearly. The delivery was carrefuly handled and arrived very quickly. Excelent choice of store and product.

I love using the deflector on my alto and tenor, but it has minimal effect on my baritone saxophone. I can't blame it, as it wasn't really designed with the size in mind. I bet if the hole in the middle was able to be covered somehow, maybe a sliding piece embedded in the design, it would make a huge difference. Overall great product for alto and tenor players and bari players will get some but not optimal use out of it. I hear putting tape over the hole makes a big difference. Haven't tried it yet, but I plan to in the future. Overall, highly recommend this product for all saxophone players.
