The Jupiter JBN1000 Series Student Bassoon delivers warm, consistent tone with professional-level features designed specifically for developing musicians. This student bassoon features a full Heckel system keywork typically found on intermediate and professional instruments, combined with a durable ABS resin body that withstands the rigorous demands of school band programs and daily practice. Perfect for middle school and high school students beginning their bassoon studies or advancing from beginner instruments.
Product Overview
The Jupiter JBN1000 bassoon combines ABS resin construction with precision-engineered keywork to create an instrument that balances durability with authentic bassoon tone production. The resin body eliminates concerns about wood cracking or warping due to humidity changes while maintaining the tonal characteristics essential for proper bassoon technique development. Silver-plated nickel silver keys provide smooth action and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance throughout years of student use.
The full Heckel system keywork includes 22 keys with professional features like a high D key, plateau C on the third finger of the wing joint, and multiple trill keys that facilitate advanced technical passages. This comprehensive key system allows students to develop proper fingering habits from the beginning without needing to relearn techniques when advancing to higher-level instruments. Two nickel-plated nickel silver bocals are included, providing options for tonal color and response adjustments.
The Jupiter JBN1000 produces warm bass register tones with clear projection in the tenor range, delivering the characteristic bassoon sound required for concert band, orchestra, and chamber music performance. The instrument's intonation system ensures consistent pitch accuracy across all registers, building student confidence during ensemble rehearsals and solo performances.
