Jupiter JTB700VQ 700 Series Valve Trombone - Lacquer | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Jupiter JTB700VQ Bb valve trombone is specifically designed for baritone and trumpet players doubling on trombone, offering familiar valve mechanics with authentic trombone tone. Featuring an 8-inch yellow brass bell and three responsive stainless steel pistons with a .482" bore, this instrument delivers outstanding projection and smooth playability. Built with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and a durable lacquer finish, the JTB700VQ provides an accessible entry point to trombone performance for multi-instrumentalists.
Product Overview
The JTB700VQ features a lacquered brass body produced using advanced manufacturing technology to ensure accurate scale and optimal playability across all registers. The Bb configuration matches standard trombone pitch, allowing players to read standard trombone parts while utilizing familiar valve fingerings from trumpet or baritone. The lacquer finish protects the brass from oxidation and daily wear while maintaining the instrument's polished, professional appearance.
The 8-inch yellow brass bell is carefully designed to produce the warm, resonant tone characteristic of traditional trombones while providing excellent projection in ensemble settings. The yellow brass composition contributes to the instrument's bright, focused sound with clear articulation and strong presence. The nickel silver main outer slide adds durability and corrosion resistance to frequently handled areas, ensuring smooth operation and longevity through regular use.
The three stainless steel piston valves feature remarkably smooth, fast action that enhances technical agility and responsiveness. The .482" bore size balances ease of play with tonal depth, creating a focused sound that projects clearly without requiring excessive air volume. This combination of bore and bell design makes the JTB700VQ ideal for players accustomed to valve instruments who want to add trombone capabilities to their musical versatility.
