Jupiter is a company that is evolving. They concentrated on the beginner's market and at first price was a primary selling point. But as all the crappy Chinese and India horns have shown, price is not everything.
Jupiter has wanted to produce good horns. They have had a steep learning curve and it seems to be paying off. Their new bass trombones are excellent. The XO series has received great reviews. While the lower lines may yet still suffer some, Jupiter, as there website says, is rising.
Expect better and better horns from Jupiter as time goes on. The hard part will be telling people you are playing a Jupiter until they get used to their quality being up on the top-shelf.
