I come home from Rockford and rejoin my college marching band, we had more mello players show up than we had Bachs for them to play on, so being section leader i got to be the odd man out and borrow a jupiter. Not too sturdy, but i had more fun with that thing once the weather dropped under 50! It would really squeal! I had to get a funnel of a mouthpiece to match tone centers with my section, but it was worth it. Would i recommend them, no way. Memphis Sound is doing okay in spite of jupiter. I'm proud of their progress.
