Jupiter JTB700Q

Jupiter: a reliable reference for accessible and high-performance brass instruments

Recognized in the world of wind instruments, the Jupiter brand has established itself by designing brass instruments that offer a solid and consistent playing experience. This Bb tenor trombone fits this philosophy: providing a reliable, comfortable, and musical instrument with proven design choices (standard bore, generous bell, carefully crafted slide) and a practical set of accessories, including a Jupiter Light case.

For which musician and styles?

With its Bb tuning and 12.70 mm bore, this tenor trombone is perfectly suited for beginners who want a serious instrument from the start, as well as intermediate players seeking a versatile trombone. It is suitable for classical (orchestra, wind band), brass band, as well as pop and jazz, thanks to a natural balance between warmth, clarity, and ease of attack. The luthier adjustment also provides appreciable comfort from the first notes: more stable sound production, a feeling of control, and a more confident playing experience.

Sound and design

The 12.70 mm bore promotes direct sound production and good homogeneity across registers, while maintaining power reserves for wind bands and ensembles. The 203 mm lacquered brass bell contributes to a warm timbre, with broad projection and a natural presence in the orchestral mix. Regarding the slide, the combination of nickel silver outer tubes and chrome-plated nickel silver inner tubes aims for smooth action and a precise feel, essential for intonation (clear positions) and articulation (detached, legato, attacks).

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the best from the slide and maintain its mechanics daily, plan to use a trombone slide lubricant, a water spray (or mister), as well as a cleaning swab suitable for trombones. A slide grease is also recommended to keep the tuning slide fluid and stable.
