The JUPITER JTU 1140 Bb Tuba is an extraordinary instrument offering exceptional value for money.

Manufactured in Taiwan, it features reliable mechanics and a finish that is constantly improving.

With a bore size of 0.732 inches (18.60 mm) and a yellow brass bell of 14.37 inches (365 mm), this tuba produces a uniform and powerful sound.

Its design includes a detachable yellow brass leadpipe, as well as 4 rotary valves and a removable valve section.

Weighing 16.31 pounds (7.4 kg) and measuring 32.68 inches (83 cm) in height, this instrument comes with a mouthpiece and accessories.

The finish and mechanics of this tuba are continually evolving, offering exceptional manufacturing quality. Its uniform sound is characterized by surprising power, while maintaining an interesting projection.

However, it should be noted that the aging capacity of this instrument is still unknown. Additionally, some musicians might find its intonation too bright, and the addition of rose brass to the leadpipe or bell could be beneficial. Although this tuba offers powerful sound and interesting projection, they may be slightly limited compared to German tubas.

The JTU 1140 is a remarkable choice for musicians looking for a quality instrument at an affordable price.
