£250.00
SOLD
JUPITER JHR-452D 'Hornett'
single F, convertible to B flat; or
single Bb, convertible to F
An excellent, ingeniously designed starter
instrument, ergonomically built for younger players
with smaller hands. It is supplied with two
interchangeable sets of tuning slides giving the
option of playing in either F or B flat. Adjustable
mouthpipe position, thumb and finger hooks allow
further adjustments to optimise the playing position.
· Lacquered yellow brass
· Bore size: 11.99 mm
· Bell diameter: 30.2cm
· Rose brass leadpipe
· Two interchangeable sets of tuning slides (F and B flat)
· Ergonomic wrap, adjustable in size
· Adjustable mouthpipe, thumb and finger hooks
Water keys on the mouthpipe and on the F
main slide
Silver-plated mouthpiece
· Hard shell case
The horn is currently configured in F, with the
mouthpipe set lower down the body of the
instrument, giving a manageable, compact 'hold' for
a small young player.
The width of the horn from mouthpipe to bell can be
expanded to that of a full-size instrument.
Replacing the 4 F horn slides with those of the Bb
horn reduces its weight, of course.
Price comparison: the current brand new price of this model is £1,150.
