hello Joe!

My opinion about Jupiter tubas, the only one that I tried seemed fine. It was a good tuba for non-professional use. It had good solid intonation and had a nice sound. This tuba was small enough that you would not need to blow lung tissue in it and destroy brain cells to play (ok, that is part of the fun). It had a rather odd placement for the fourth valve tubing, making it easily flatened, so extra care is warrented. I also remember that the workmanship was good enough on the one I tried.

good luck to Jim's son with his new tuba!
