Jupiter Short History


The heritage of Jupiter began in 1930 as an educational products company. Jupiter's research and development continued to strengthen each year and today Jupiter manufactures a comprehensive line of brass and woodwind instruments. Jupiter continues to search for and utilize the very latest technology to achieve an ever higher standard of excellence. Modernization does not however deter Jupiter from maintaining close contact with leading players, teachers and artisans to collaborate on the hand finishing necessary to make a truly great performance instrument.

Jupiter uses the latest technology in computer aided design and manufacturing. Our engineers are able to exceed the standards required for today's performance by using new techniques to achieve precise measurement and tolerances.

Besides using the latest machinery and engineering Jupiter recognizes that certain work can only be done by the human hand. To assure that every Jupiter instrument has the required response and playability. Skilled craftspersons hand seat all pads, hand lap all valves and tuning slides, adjust and align all keys.

All Jupiter instruments feature a high quality durable finish. Each instrument goes through a multiple step process that ends with hand finishing and polishing. Metal instruments receive a special ultrasonic cleaning to ensure surfaces are free of residue that could be harmful to the plating or lacquer process.

Each Jupiter instrument is personally inspected and play tested by technicians prior to leaving our factory. Jupiter strives for perfection in assuring players that Jupiter's intonation, appearance, and function is to the very highest quality.
