3 1 valve configuration improves low register intonation





The Jupiter JEP1020 comes with a 3 1 valve configuration that solves the low-end intonation issues that impact beginner euphoniums. It has three top-action valves with an angled valve operated by the left hand. Each valve has stainless steel pistons that will last through years of use and abuse in middle and high school. Adding a fourth valve to the euphonium allows the player to achieve accurate intonation when playing in the lower register instead of using alternate fingerings.





Removable valve section for easy cleaning





Cleaning and sanitizing the inside of a euphonium is typically a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. But with this horn’s removable valve section, it’s painless to clean your euphonium. Once you take the valve section off the horn, just use your standard cleaning snake to get any gunk and debris out. Plus, since the valves are removable, you no longer have to guess where the sanitizing solution is as you rotate the horn!





Jupiter: guaranteed through graduation





A staple in classrooms everywhere, Jupiter band instruments are beloved by music teachers for good reason. Since 1980, the company has built high-quality band instruments for students of every development level. Innovations such as the Waveline flute headjoint and the patented Ergonomic trombone are just two examples of the company’s player-centered design philosophy. Each Jupiter instrument is inspected for quality throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that it can endure bumps and bruises as easily as it can navigate technical passages. Sweetwater believes that every student should have access to the rich musical culture that unites us all.
