The Jupiter JTB-1100F is a medium bore (.525) tenor trombone with F-attachment, designed to meet the needs of advancing students and adult players ready for their first step-up horn. This particular instrument is a new, unused closeout model that has been shop-corrected to ensure perfect playability.
Originally, the horn arrived with a small defect at the neck receiver, which was corrected in our shop by professional repair. The result is a trombone that is now in perfect condition, fully inspected, and ready to play without compromise. For peace of mind, we are also happy to provide a repair price estimate if desired — simply contact us for details.
The JTB-1100F features a .525 medium bore handslide, which provides a balance between the ease of a student trombone and the fullness of a professional large bore. It is paired with an F-attachment trigger system, giving access to extended lower register notes and making it easier to tackle advanced repertoire. This combination makes it an excellent first trigger horn for a younger advancing player or an adult musician looking for a reliable instrument in this size and price range.
The horn is lacquered with a clean finish and has a responsive, even feel across registers. It comes with case and mouthpiece, making it a complete package at a fraction of the cost of new. With new models retailing in the $1,800–1,900 range, this closeout pricing represents a significant opportunity to save while still owning a quality intermediate-level F-attachment trombone.
