Product Overview

The XO 1651N showcases Jupiter's commitment to professional-grade instrument development through extensive collaboration with industry experts and performing artists. The Kruspe wrap design provides the traditional playing feel preferred by many professional hornists, while modern engineering innovations enhance performance and reliability. The warm, focused tone with exceptional slotting makes this horn ideal for both orchestral section work and solo performance applications.

Advanced metallurgy and engineering innovations include the one-piece leadpipe design that provides reduced resistance and superior intonation while producing complex harmonics with a consistent playing feel. The 0.472" bore size offers excellent projection and dynamic range, while the 12.2" bell provides optimal acoustic properties for professional performance. Nickel-silver construction ensures durability and consistent tonal characteristics.

Professional features include phosphor bronze caps that offer increased resistance to wear and corrosion, extending the instrument's performance life under intensive use. The traditional string linkage system provides smooth, quiet synchronous response of lever and rotor, essential for seamless transitions between F and Bb sides during performance. The adjustable finger hook allows customization for individual hand size and playing style preferences.
