We have 4 Jupiters that we bought brand new a few years ago.....They are ok.....What bothers me is how there is little or no felt on the finger buttons...and they clank a lot. I was told by someone that Jupiter had a problem with the valves needing to be re-aligned...but I'm not so sure. The worst thing about the Jupiters I thinks is how they have the lead pipe set up...its almost like you have to push the bell out to play...even with 1 bit! Just glad I got my beat up 20K.....dont care how nasty looking it is....plays better than anything else!
