Designed to last





Ask any music instructor here at Sweetwater, and they’ll all agree: students are hard on their instruments. That’s why Jupiter built the JTB700A to last through all the bumps and bruises of middle school and junior high. It comes with a durable nickel silver outer slide that handles accidental impacts, drops, and other slide-related slip-ups with absolute ease. The 1-piece leadpipe design withstands forcible mouthpiece insertions and contributes a fast, responsive playing feel. Plus, the JTB700A comes dressed up in a clear lacquer finish that’s easy to care for and looks great onstage.





Features fit for beginners





Every element of the JTB700A’s design is meant to foster a student’s musical development. First, the 0.500-inch bore offers comfortable breath resistance and helps the player produce a stable tone. Next comes an 8-inch yellow brass bell for robust, room-filling projection. The JTB700A has a bright-sounding nickel silver outer slide that plays like a dream. There’s even an extended lever for the water key, so younger students can comfortably drain condensation. Whether you’re a brass hobbyist or buying your student’s first trombone, you can’t go wrong with a Jupiter JTB700A.





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.
