I have heard a few people say that the Jupiter sousas are heavier than the Conn 20K's. I thought it would be that the 20K is the heaviest, I mean, they are built like tanks! I have noticed that they do seem a little heavier. Does the weight of the horn have any affect on the sound? I have heard (I hear a lot of things)that the more it weighs, the more deeper, full tone it can have. But the thing about the Jupiter just confuses me! ~Nick
