Just bought one. I have about 30 trumpets of different makes & prices but I must say that I am quite impressed by this inexpensive trumpet from Taiwan!!!!!!!!! in MY opinion, much better than my Olds Ambassador........

YEP YEP! About 2yrs ago I visited this small shop that had a used Jupiter Capital on the shelf. So I played it just for the heck, and I swear, that horn played better then most of my horns that I’be Paid $2500~2800 for! This is a SWEET little horn!! So I talked the guy down to $70 & bought it! I have a Powell tuning slide that just happens to fit it that I use for it which puts my Capital right in the pocket!! Don’t sleep on the Jupiter Capital!! Great for those Blues Bros. Gigs!

Blues Bros. gigs, you mean, "let's get the hell out of here!"

A friend of mine has one and still uses it as her main horn. I definitely find Jupiter student horns to be better than the current Yamahas which are made in China. Jupiter valves are fantastic!
