Jupiter meets the growing demand with its extraordinary euphonium, the JEP1120. Featuring a wide range, this instrument offers exceptional flexibility and remarkable intonation, allowing for an expressive and captivating sound.
Made in Taiwan, the JEP1120 is tuned in B♭. Its bore, with a diameter of 0.59-0.66 inches (approximately 15-16.80 mm), ensures precise response and optimal ease of play. The 12.2-inch (approximately 310 mm) yellow brass bell contributes to a powerful and warm sound projection. The body, leadpipe, and pistons are also made of yellow brass, offering a rich and balanced tonality.
The JEP1120 is equipped with 3+1 stainless steel pistons, ensuring increased durability and smooth action. The compensated system allows for improved accuracy across all ranges. Additionally, a strap hook is present for optimal comfort during long playing sessions.
The JUPITER JEP1120 euphonium comes with a suitable mouthpiece and a selection of essential accessories. Its level of finish is remarkable, showing a clear improvement over previous series. However, it is important to note that the long-term aging capacity of the instrument remains unknown.
Compared to its competitors, the JEP1120 is slightly heavier. However, it compensates for this with its broad and ample sound, as well as its surprising value for money, with an entry price for a Jupiter instrument.
