anyone ever play one of these? I have been considering getting a 3/4 BBb with 4 valves. I have a little Yamaha 103 three valver that I like for strolling type gigs and my little trio but wouldn't mind getting a four valver. The Yamaha YBB 621 would probably be great but they are too expensive. and i don't see many used ones around.

Re: jupiter 482
I had asked about this model tuba before in another thread, but noone replied...
The 482 bugle looks very similar to the King 1140/1135 bugle, but with a bigger bore front-piston valveset. Looks like it would be a fun tuba; perfect for quintet or small ensembles
