Useful in a pinch





The Jupiter JTB720VS isn’t just useful because it’s pitched in C. A valve trombone allows you to fill in your low brass section when your only trombonist can’t make it to a performance. The note fingerings are exactly the same as they are on baritone and trumpet. You can also use the JTB720VS to help students transition from one brass instrument to trombone with a lessened learning curve. Whatever application you have in mind, adding to your low brass options with a Jupiter JTB720VS C valve trombone is a great choice.





8-inch yellow brass bell





For impressive projection, Jupiter equipped the JTB720VS with an 8-inch bell. The bell is made from yellow brass for a quick and responsive feel. Yellow brass is a favorite alloy at Sweetwater due to its traditional sound and pleasing harmonic content. Together with the nickel-silver outer slide and yellow brass valve section, this trombone creates a well-behaved tone with a dash of ear-pleasing brilliance. Whether it appears in the pep band, orchestra pit, or elsewhere on school grounds, the JTB720VS' bell is sure to shine.





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. And with Jupiter’s player-first focus, anyone is welcome to embark upon an exciting and fulfilling musical journey through high school graduation and beyond.
