You mean the XO model or something?

I did a little while back when I was up at Dillon's in February. It wasn't that bad, but just like the smaller one, it seemed a little bell heavy. It was kind-of like a small-ish 5/4. I wasn't very fond of it.

With that topic heading, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who assumed that you were inquiring about low Eb's in Holst.

EDIT for the OP: Every Jupiter I've ever played was a POS. Hope that helps.

When is the last time you've played a Jupiter? You owe it to yourself to try the new CC's and the compensating euph. They're not perfect, but they're pretty good.

"Mea culpa, Gustav," he pleaded, admitting that he didn't have the score in front of him when he made the reference. "Next time I'll be sure to play it with my D# fingering instead of my Eb fingering on my CC."

Please, no discussion about key signatures, voice leading, leading tones, playing one note differently than its enharmonic twin, etc. Todd...err, Gustav... is absolutely correct.

No, no, no--Mars is in 5/4, not Jupiter!

Seriously, I believe that Roger Lewis, among others, played the new Jupiter 5/4 CC at Midwest (unless they're offering a 4/4 AND a 5/4 CC) and formed an opinion.
