The ideal transition instrument





Let’s say that you have a student who wants to play trombone and currently plays trumpet or baritone. How do you help them transition to a wholly unfamiliar instrument? With a Jupiter JTB700VS from Sweetwater, of course! It’s a tenor valve trombone pitched in Bb, allowing trumpeters and euphonium players to play with the same fingerings they use on their primary instrument. If you need an extra trombone sound in an arrangement but don’t have enough players, turn to your Jupiter JTB700VS to save the day.





Responsive yellow brass bell





For impressive projection, Jupiter equipped the JTB700VS 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 the 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 JTB700VS’ 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.
