Jupiter 314L Slide Trumpet Soprano Trombone Lacquer

 Fun in a Small Package!
"And now it's time for a little trombone!" That's what I say before pulling this little guy out...it always gets a laugh but the tone quality that eminates from this Jupiter, is no laughing matter! This horn has the tember, or tone quality, somewhere between a good B-flat trumpet and a Flugel Horn. It can be sharp or mellow. These instruments are usually tone-flat, or are very difficult to get the sound you want, but this time Jupiter has got it right. The instrument is one octave above the more common tenor trombone, complete with the seven slide-positions a tenor player would expect but much shorter. If you are a trombone player and are woried about the trumpet mouthpiece, used on this instrument, ruining your emboucher, don't wory...I have experienced that it reinforces your tenor playing abilities...I have had no negative effects (just dont blow your lip out). Not a bad price either! Have Fun!
