It does look very much like a Jupiter 584.

One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Definitely a Jupiter CC.

"Amazing" is one of the words I would use to describe Sam Pilafian's playing. "Wow" comes to mind.

I recognize he's playing Brruuuummmm and Beautiful Sounds from his book Brass Gym. Does anyone know if he uses alternate fingerings to better facilitate those fast runs, or is he just doing alternate fingerings to compensate for the intonation of the horn?
