For Sale/For Trade: JTU1100MS (Jupiter Quantum)
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2021 4:38 am
Hey all!
I've got a 5/4 5080s Jupiter Quantum lacquered goldbrass marching tuba that I no longer have use for. If you haven't had the chance to play one, you are in for a treat. This model's series was made with beautiful sound and intonation in mind, even going as far as adding a tuning slide trigger. This, however, is at the sacrifice of weight as it is known for its heaviness, but the sound that is produced is top class and out performs any yamaha/king or Chinese brand, from upright to marching. Without a doubt it has better intonation than any sousaphone, hands down!
marched with it for less than 2 years and serviced it about 2 months back. The wear is minimal on it, around 5 dents that I can find, which is amazing for a marching tuba. It was kept very clean through use of gloves, consistent polishing, and oil maintenance.
The original jupiter flight case is also included.
I'm asking only 3500$ for this beautiful instrument plus flight case, price is negotiable, or a trade of a 5/4-6/4 BBb or CC tuba, preferably another jupiter (upright). Will also consider a bass trombone that is in great shape, even if it's value is less.

I live in the Georgia area, shipping or traveling are both very viable for myself as I love to drive.
Lastly specs/features:
21'' bell
BBb
3
Yellow brass
Left hand tuning trigger
23 lbs
Tuba on my friends!
