When it comes to entry-level trumpets, the name of the game is valve finesse, and Jupiter seems to have hit the mark with this beginner's model.
Their stainless steel valves and pistons are so smooth and quick, they might as well come with a warning label for fun. It's the kind of playing experience that usually resides in the lofty realms of pricier instruments. And as for build quality, well, it's in a league of its own, making you question whether this trumpet is having an identity crisis by pretending to be a student model.
Meet the Jupiter JTR500 standard Bb Trumpet, a brass body lacquered to perfection, accompanied by those snazzy stainless steel pistons. It's as easy to play as a lullaby and has valves smoother than a conversation with a butter salesman.
Oh, and there's a delightful bonus: an adjustable 1st and 3rd Valve Slide that lets you make this trumpet feel like it was custom-made for your fingertips, all while it's humming away in the key of Bb.
So, in case you were wondering, it has a bell, a bore, and all those other trumpet-related numbers that, let's be honest, you probably won't remember. But hey, there's also a stackable ABS case included, because even a trumpet needs a cozy place to nap when it's not serenading your ears.
Includes Jupiter trumpet case, mouthpiece and valve oil.
