Made from grenadilla, a classic tonewood





Due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent properties, eye-catching appearance, and warm tone, grenadilla is the material of choice for professional-grade clarinets. The Jupiter JCL1100S performance clarinet is made of this classic tonewood. Its select grenadilla body is equipped with 18 robust silver-plated keys with a dynamic feel and dependable performance. The JCL1100S also has undercut toneholes, which ensure perfect intonation and consistent response throughout the instrument.





Upgraded for pure performance





The Jupiter JCL1100S presents an evolution of Jupiter’s standard series clarinets, providing several upgraded features tailored to advanced players. First, the JCL1100S exhibits improved ergonomics, with an offset register key and offset C/G tone hole for more natural hand positioning. It also includes a left-hand Eb/Ab key, which is typically found only on premium professional instruments. Finally, the JCL1100S boasts a ringless bell to increase resonance, and it is outfitted with metal tenons.





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.
