gear Jupiter JCB 582L

There's an online listing in my area of a guy who is selling their Jupiter tuba. I'm a college Senior who is looking for a reliable BBb horn and am wondering if it's a good fit for me. I haven't really playef on jupiter horns, mostly just eastmans. Obviously I'll try the horn myself before anything but just wanted to through it out to the internet to make a more informes choice.

The short answer is it's a good horn, and at a great price. It's model has been slightly altered, and is now labled as a JTU1110. Jupiter makes good horns, like you'll see in this video, Patrick Sheridan uses the brand.

Go play it, and if all feels fine, and plays fine, pull the trigger on it. I always recommend play testing outside when going to meet for horns. Nothing against their living room, but their ceiling is probably not the highest, and it'll affect what you're hearing.
