Jupiter JTB720VQ Valve C Trombone - Clear Lacquer | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Jupiter JTB720VQ student valve trombone in C provides an ideal transition instrument for young musicians advancing from other valve instruments to the trombone family. Featuring three responsive stainless steel piston valves and a .482" bore, this compact instrument delivers a focused, rich tone with smooth playability perfect for beginners and intermediate students. Built with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and a durable clear lacquer finish, the JTB720VQ combines educational accessibility with reliable performance quality.
Product Overview
The JTB720VQ features a lacquered brass body produced using advanced manufacturing technology to ensure accurate scale and optimal playability. The compact C valve configuration makes this trombone particularly accessible for students transitioning from trumpet, baritone, or other valve instruments, eliminating the learning curve associated with traditional slide positions. The clear lacquer finish protects the brass from oxidation while providing a classic, professional appearance that enhances the instrument's longevity.
The 8" bell is carefully proportioned to work with the .482" bore, creating a balanced, focused tone that projects clearly in ensemble settings without overwhelming young players. The nickel silver main outer slide adds durability and corrosion resistance to high-wear areas, ensuring the instrument maintains its smooth operation through years of daily practice and performance. The brass body composition provides warmth and depth to the tone while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable handling by younger students.
The three stainless steel piston valves feature remarkably smooth, fast action that improves technical agility and playability. This responsive valve mechanism allows students to focus on developing proper breath support, embouchure, and musical expression without struggling with mechanical resistance. The instrument's ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution make extended practice sessions comfortable, encouraging consistent daily engagement with the instrument.
